Well, they could enclose the entire platform and track area at the station, similar to Viva VMC Station, but that only works at the same side stops and it's a lot more expensive.

Answer: Limited space will prevent fully enclosed shelters. But, the design for surface stops has weather protection from above, behind and at the sides, and is fully accessible.
Was the line 2 extension a "compromise" of not doing the grade-separated Crosstown-SLRT? I forgot the timeline of which comes first.
The sequence was (https://torontoist.com/2016/10/a-brief-history-of-the-scarborough-subway/):
More so a compromise of not doing a 3 stop subway extension on the Bloor-Danforth line. Instead of doing the 3 station extension of the B-D line, Tory came up with the idiotic idea of the 1-stop extension, and using the savings from that to fund the Eglinton East LRT fully knowing that the savings wouldn't be enough to fund it.
Saying the design provides protection from the sides is quite a stretch in my opinion. I doubt those tiny side walls will provide any protection.
