When I go to a beach where I don’t want to leave much on the ground I change in the car and pack everything I need into the harness, on occasion not even bringing a pump if someone shares theirs.
But I know what are you talking about - even 2020 bags didn’t have a pump strap, yet I don’t recall how many years ago I used one the last time. I ended up storing kite bags in a closet and only use compression bag for going out and duffel bag full of kites for travel.

If I was worried about stuff getting stolen I wouldn’t leave a bag or pump on the beach.
The ufo bag is a gimmick. Yes, there is a pocket for the bar end. I don’t know how you would hang a pump.
I think it should have been a stuff bag, like the cloud bags.
I am not a fan of the zipper.
If slingshot is intent on keeping the lunch sized backpack, I think it should be a top load with a buckled top flap. The bag is so small I think the only way to mount a pump would be sideways like you would with bedroll on a backpack.

Hi, I'm interested in the UFO for the summer breezes here in Sydney 18-25kn. I was looking at the 5m but after reading this thread I feel I'm asking for a 4m which doesn't exist...
I'm 79Kg on axis 680 surf foil.

I’d ride a 3m ufo in those winds, but a 4m is definitely needed. You should write to slingshot customer care.
