If the walls are sewn to the floor, it limits ventilation and condensation becomes a bigger problem. Single walled shelters usually have netting between the floor and wall.
It is strange that a two pole, tunnel design isn’t more common though. Two pole shelters are more stable than single pole designs, and it offers more room for taller people. An average height man with a 2” pad a thick sleeping bag gets pretty close to the walls of a pyramid shelter.
A cheap tent like you described, even with good ventilation, would be super easy to make. A 40” wide floor with a 48” peak height would make the walls 52”. The floor could be made slightly wider or the peak taller by using standard 58” silnylon (or silpoly).
