I agree. I can't tell if that is a square taper crankset or not, but if it is, that my be a low cost way to change the Q factor. That would also change the chainline, so that could be an issue.
I wanted a narrower Q factor on my heavy duty touring bike by about 10mm, I used a shorter bottom bracket spindle than ideal. My chainline is off by 5mm, but it is on an IGH bike so that is not much of an issue.
