While the WP “super duper advanced technology” of a ratcheting auger was a better performer than a Newton Maytag with a one stage agitator, Maytags are perfectly adequate when loaded properly.
We had a Maytag growing up and it lasted till the mid 2010s. As long as it wasn’t stuffed and you set the Extra large loads to 12min time, it had plenty chance to roll over that load.
WP baskets were taller and a little narrower, they really need the added corkscrew action. I used a single stage DD at a AirBnB once. It was a bit pitiful.
 
Direct-drive debuted before Kenmore's exclusivity expired on the dual-action. Early WP models were restricted from having it. Early KM DDs maybe also were restricted if KM DA was exclusive to belt-drives?
