You'd need some kind of physical constraint to kill this problem off completely. Something that stops the mismatched threads getting near each other. i.e. different axle diameters or some kind of keying system etc.
I don't think people are idiots - it's to do with expectations. Reverse threads are well weird. Most stuff is designed to be used without having to read a manual. Bikes are just odd.
