I don't know about 'poorly designed' - they have different uses. For instance, you'd never get a waveguide bendy enough that you can use as wire..you think solid core wires are stiff - try waveguides !

Also, at a physics level, I don't believe that waveguides and properly made litz wire work in the same way. For waveguides, the geometry is critical - the width needs to be same sort of size as the wavelength. And typically they are only useful at very high freqs, like microwave. Litz wire is not frequency-specific and works at much lower freqs; it's operation is based on the magnetic and electric fields generated by AC.

And waveguides are not conductors as such. It makes as much sense to say that waveguides are poorly designed litz wire..as their resistance is too high ;)
