To do that, they would have to tell you to cut all the pieces a "scooch" bigger than they do now or else say you can only use specific fabric and thread weights when making that pattern. Adjusting the seam allowance is by far the easiest option for the broadest range of people. Don't find fault, find a solution that works best for you.
