Apparently, the cycling industry (marketing teams) agree with your point of view, that it should not be fixed.
And so do most cyclists as far as I can tell.

I don't have a problem with someone fixing it especially if it brings the cost down slightly in the long term since manufacturers could stop making left threaded pedals in about a century - but it's not a problem that has ever entered my sphere of consciousness in 40 years of cycling. In fact, knowing that you have to reverse thread the left side is one of those little things that makes you feel part of an "in group" so I can imagine some people don't want it "fixed".
