Orthography in specific and natural language in general (formalized and written, or otherwise) is not beholden to be "logical;"
idiosyncratic deviance from established cultural norms looks adolescent in anything other than a private subculture.
Specifically in American English, which unlike French French or German German, does not have a state-sanctioned standards body attempting (and often failing) to police or mandate its evolution.
Earnest advice for those tempted to adopt "logical" style in American English language written communication: adhere to the standards.
