The same is true of stereo too. There are people who just don't hear
stereo as stereo. If the response to "lack of perfection" is always
"do nothing", nothing will be done. Alternatively, if you use those
generic HRTFs, at least ~some~ people will be happy.
BTW, the AES has just announced a project "AES-X212" to develop a file
format for HRTF data; "The format will be designed to include source
materials from different HRTF databases". See:

The next and valid question is if stereo via headphones actually works
so well at all... (Many people have problems, such as in-head effects,
lack of perceived "real space", etc.)
If you would fix these problems, then you could probably also reproduce
convincing binaural surround via headphones.

Please, what is this "generic binaural"?
Everyone has an individual HRTF. If you
release binaural recording using a generic
HRTF then it will work for some and not for
others.
There have been attempts to systemise HRTFs,
so that you set about four different parameters
to produce an individual HRTF, but they never
caught on.
