Would I be rude to ask why the panzergrenadier squads wont be split? is it to much work, not feasable, not realistc? The TOE shows 6 protze trucks per platoon each would carry a 6 men plus the driver, ie a 2 man LMG team and 3 riflemen plus the section leader with LMG?

Generally, small units die or become ineffective much quicker than larger ones.
Also the game is really based on the squad (or individual vehicle) as the smallest unit, save some special cases. You would get some squads that plays like a single unit and some where the player will have to dabble in squad tactics.

So some squads will be more resilient because they are big, others will be more flexible because they are split. Not because they were any different in reality but simply because they used different transports.

Furthermore, once you start splitting units, you double the number of units that has to be handled and reduce the number of actual squads in the game by 50%.

Plenty of reasons NOT to split units, really
