Thing with natural languages, is, 80% of them exists without a good reason and are hard to change. All I can say in defense of katakana is, you rarely see too much hiragana at once, they kind of serve as word separators as well, japanese language doesn't use spaces for word separation. But with katakana it is oblivious that that thing over there is a word. I know I'm probably responding to a joking post seriously, I don't care.
