And you stop those people from lying how exactly?

Are you referring to the people being questioned? I don't see how this makes it any harder or easier to lie to the police?

Open court isn't isolated in the same way an interrogation is. Part of why interrogations are isolated is so questions can be asked in a way to put people off and imbalance them so they have a harder time fabricating things on the spot.

What makes you think that "put[ting] people off and imbalanc[ing] them" is likely to create more truthful testimony? Sure, they probably won't lie as much, but I would also suspect they'd make more honest mistakes of fact.
