this is a perfectly normal situation, so it’s a stark accusation that 
LilyPond’s developers didn’t set this spacing intentionally. I haven’t 
studied this specific issue and can’t give context from memory, but I’d 
very much assume it’s in accordance with best practice.

So your stark accusation would require stark evidence, and reference to 
stark authority, that it should be done differently.

Best, Simon
