That's the point ! Hell knows why aren't there face balanced clubs, but IMO not because someone wanted to make golfer's life harder.
I would risk to say that because of tradition. Backing to the middleages when golfers played with wooden stick bent at one end (looking similarily to a walking stick for elderly people)...and it was much easier to manyfacture it instead manufacturing a center shafted club.
Sir Winston Ch. could be right - we are playing with tools that are wrongly designed to this goal...
