The vent-out and no vent-in serves a very useful purpose. A significant part of the "pressurization" of the crankcase as both pistons retreat to bottom dead center is absorbed by the partial vacuum in the crankcase. This minimizes the volume of air and oil mist that passes out the PCV valve. This minimizes oil consumption, stress on seals, and the mess in the carb(s) from that oil mist.
