As a career two-way radio tech, I'll say that's "just the way it is". CTCSS tones must be filtered out of both the TX and RX audio path, or the user would quickly tire of listening to the "hum".
The TX deviation is set to about 600 Hz, with 750 Hz considered to be the maximum that should be used. CTCSS is almost a necessity on today's multi-user FM channels, where different user groups are stacked 10+ deep on channels in busy metropolitan areas. 73!
