There is a back to the monolith covering all the modules and interconnects. It would look a lot messier without that grey panel over the whole thing.

Oh so that is a back, I wasn’t sure if it was just the frame. Presumably they do need the vents to stop the screens/equipment overheating, so possibly there isn’t any way to make it neater.

It’s not that it looks bad, I realise I’m nit picking, but it is very much “behind the scenes” in appearance despite being part of the set. So you can pretty much never use the area behind the monolith in-shot on any of the new sets as it wouldn’t look right.
