Similar argument also applies to English. English isn't phonetic which makes it hard to pronounce correctly unless you are learning from a native speaker. But I don't see written English to evolve in a way that makes it easier to pronounce for new learners.

Let’s make phase 1 be the unification of American and British spelling. That should be easy enough right?
