actually, the company in question allows all of the things that you
mention - with the exception of polyphony - within their interface.
THAT's why people are asking for them to develop the dream sequencer.
they've found a wonderful way to combine aspects of free-form sequencing
(i.e. like that of the machines you mention above) and analog-style
step-sequencing (where individual note editing is simple to do). their
latest sequencing effort (within the Monomachine) is quite incredible
and powerful. but indeed if it were focused on and expanded a bit, it would
be a dream sequencer.
