Question I now have is why doesn't Apple just do this simple and cheap fix?

It has to do with Retina MacBook pros in 2015.

"The anti-reflective coating appears to be wearing off under a variety of circumstances, including the pressure of the keys and trackpad on the display when closed, and the use of third-party cleaning solutions and microfiber cloths."
