>nobody gave a damn about that proposal and every light bomber was heavier than that
Except the Bongs really did and were super autistic into deescalating things via arms treaties. They were naïve enough that if they thought they abided by it everyone else would follow their example just like they tried to pretend to naval arms treaties were still a thing.
>would have cost twice as much
Cost is not the issue here. Bongs more than could have afforded it. The twin merlin engine design they proposed without the restrictions would have been something very similar to a cross between a Beaufighter and Mosquito yet available in numbers by 1939. In theory it would have been extremely well armed, faster than anything the Germans had at the time and quite possibly well protected.
