Why aren't there any aircraft shaped like this? Could a hang glider benefit in any way from being so narrow?

Because it's too thin you can't put an engine / fuel anywhere, also no cockpit and passengers seat.

Why do you think it would be good in a glider? It would generate almost no lift and fall from the sky immediately. In general, the narrower the wing, the higher the speed it was designed for.

Many are. They just don't like gliding.
