Isn't inconsistency just a natural facet of any language that developed organically over time? We aren't talking about a programming language here. I don't see how it's any different to gendered articles in German not really having much of a logical basis to them or kanji readings in Japanese just being something you learn on a case by case basis. I'm only talking about languages I have personal experience with; I'm sure there are others that could be commented on.
