According to the British War Office, the stielhandgranate had a throwing distance of up to 27m while standing, compared to the 35m distance of the more modern and still used M67. Which weighs 30% less and take up 75% less space lengthwise.
Even if you replaced the handle with something lighter and thinner to get leverage, the size difference is still a major factor just for carrying more.
