Unicode has two additional copies of whole ASCII, fullwidth and halfwidth with the expectation that the widths would match the Han character grid (strictly speaking the halfwidth variant is somewhat redundant, but it is there). On the other hand I think that the ugly latin fonts on chinese goods (and also the amount of completely redundant and nonsensical labels like “Fan”, “LED”...) has completely different reason: nobody simply cares about that.
