No, this is not the decision of distributors any more.
It sounds as though the distributors are maintaining multiple, possibly disparate, copies of the kernel headers. Whether this is to ease installations without kernel sources or because 2.6 is so thoroughly buggered up I don't know
Linux-related FAQs contains the precise explanation for this: http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Kernel/usr-src-linux-symlink.html
If nothing else, it occults kernel header problems, which might explain in part why they've been so long getting fixed.
AFAIK everything is fixed. There was the problem with debian distro, but not any more I think. You erased and symlinked /usr/include/linux on your own. Why do you expect the programs to still compile or work correctly? I think the above URL explains why you should not.
