Aren't we just stalling the air? As if in a high AOA? and if so can't we optimize that with different diffuser airfoils?

Tony, why your depiction leaves out is the big blockage to free airflow, otherwise known as the radiator. If that airflow was in a free stream, it would do exactly as your curly lines depict. But it isn't in a free stream. It has that radiator spanning the whole area, blocking the air's progression, and pushing it to the side. It is the pressure at the center of the radiator acting to push air to the side that keeps the flow laminar.
