Plus we dont really see X wings constantly shifting their S-foils during space battles, only before and after the battles do they go back to closed.

You won't see that in the game either. Players will start the battle closed if they want to get fast into the shooting, then they will open it for the rest of the game. Maybe occasionally close it in some special situations, to get back to the battle quickly.
