I should add - concurrent dual band does not need more antennas. They have more because it's a good thing not because they need more. Take for example the DIR-825 (which happens to be my main router) - concurrent dual-band with only 2 antennas.

Having more antennas is a premium, performance improving feature of good routers, having less is a cost-cutting measure on cheap crappy devices. The Superhub has the bare minimum possible not because it needs less but because VM cut every corner they could to save costs. There's nothing about concurrent dual-band routers that makes them intrisically need more antennas.
