Good explanation and video! It's funny that you call forward visibility "stupid"; sometimes the simplest things can dictate overall design.

Engineer here (not aerospace, but dabbled in it in school), and the answer is: pretty much, at least with current materials and technology. It's relatively close to spherical (as opposed to an aircraft shape or something else), which is good for being a pressure vessel (stronger) and having the largest volume/surface
