You are correct sir. There is no way to pick up the bag near its center of gravity with only one hand. The bag would be a poor choice for high-weight users but a good choice for high-volume users that only have to pick the bag up at the bin and the taxi.
Side note on the volume issue: I ran this past a few mid-level execs at a few USA airlines as a way to waive carry-on fees and size restrictions and they were interested.
