The spire does function as a communications/transmission antenna, that was its entire purpose, to replace the one lost from the original North Tower. You’re welcome to your opinion, but the whole point of the radome was to hide that comm equipment and that’s just a fact. The analogy with the Eiffel Tower doesn’t really make sense as to why this spire shouldn’t have had a radome to begin with because the Eiffel Tower isn’t covered in comm equipment all over it.
