Please provide an example of the optical distortion you're claiming. The camera has a 24mm (35mm equivalent) lens. 24mm wouldn't be considered "very wide angle" by any photographer worth his/her salt. My Venus Optics 12mm rectilinear lens would be considered "very wide angle".
Regarding your other points, these can be overcome by flying closer to the subject. Not everyone is shooting landscapes where every element in the photo is equally distant from the camera.
Any photographer worth his/her salt wouldn't exclusively shoot all their work with a 12mm super wide lens.
There aren't many portrait photographers using wide angle lenses as their main lens.They would want to have a range of focal lengths to be able to deal with a variety of subjects and photo styles.

I didn't claim any optical distortion.
I commented on the exaggerated perspective that's inherent in wide angle lenses.
The wider the FoV, the more exaggerated the perspective.
For some subjects, a wide angle lens is great and for some it isn't.
Try shooting a long subject like a train or a ship.
You could position the subject square across the frame and it would look long, thin, distant and dead.
Or you could go for a 3/4 view with the subject heading into the frame but if you get close, the front of the subject can look swollen and the back disappears in the distance.
Regarding your other points, these can be overcome by flying closer to the subject.
Sometimes that's just not possible and it's going to increase the perspective problem.
Try shooting a small moving target and keeping it in the frame when you are close.
The lens on the P4 pro is great for many shots and I've created many stunning images with it.
But I'd like to have the option to use something less wide when that's appropriate.
