One of the issues with folded scopes, refractor or reflector is the induced distortion caused by the angle of the required mirror to the axis of the light path. Theoretically you could introduce another mirror working at right angles to the first which would compensate in the other direction and thus also gain a small modicum of magnification but the build and collimation issues could be fun.

And it would still look ugly ...
