Seriously, couldn’t they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???

Make the exhaust curve back a bit? More expensive to make the part than having a straight pipe with just one bend.
Dent the exhaust? Affect flow, create hot spot right under the oil drain plug.
Expect people to be intelligent enough to put some cardboard or foil under the plug so they don’t spill oil on the exhaust? Idiots are complaining and posting their failure on the internet and blaming you.

I personally don’t want any part of the engine casing sticking out during a crash, but maybe that’s just me.
This section isn’t on an easy to replace cover.
