I'm much more worried about bearing preloads, properly adjusted brakes, smooth shifting, than some tiny oddity.
All you have to do to see that something is ridiculous is exaggerate it. This is how comedians earn their living.
Put your right pedal 12 inches out from the frame and your left pedal 2 inches from the frame, and it will be fairly obvious that asymmetrical pedaling is a "real ergonomic disaster".
And being slightly rather than blatantly off, makes a quarter-inch asymmetry a "subtle but real" ergonomic disaster.
People accept all sorts of strange things in the world as normal, just because they aren't sharp enough to notice -- or worse, go along with "how everybody else does it".
