Damn straight!

I guess they figure all the "interesting" stuff will always be in the 
center of the image or something.

Still, no matter what you do, there is no way the problem can ever be 
solved without distortion or black bars. It's just mathematically 
impossible. Which is why I find it so puzzling that manufacturers have 
artificially created this problem in the first place...
