There is no distinctions between the "e" because the latter uses a different rule in pinyin system from the first one:

In English you also have similar situations where the same composition gives you different pronunciations:
baked, raped vs gated, naked.
- jason_slack 10y agoThis goes along with what I have been saying. The OP's argument would suggest that anyone just reading outright and not taking the time to learn would pronounce the /e/ all the same. However, learning the "rules" is required to pronounce it properly. This isn't a bad or damaging thing.
- gurkendoktor 10y agoWould you say that Pinyin run through ROT-13 is just as easy as Hanyu Pinyin, because it's still 26 characters and you just have to memorise the rules? I found the ambiguities of Hanyu Pinyin really annoying when learning Chinese. Probably still more time-efficient than learning Bopomofo, but Pinyin is definitely a "least worst" choice for me.
