Bahahaha I'll give you that one! I have trouble reading English editions these days because of that. I just eyeball in on all the typesetting.

The reason they don't replace sfx (except VIZ) is because you have to pay the letterer twice as much. And there's a trend in the industry these days to make the translator both translate and letter, which takes the quality of lettering down across the board because most translators are not very good letterers because they're translators first. And so now you don't have to pay a letterer.

To be fair, most manga companies are operating on very thin margins these days and they can't afford to pay their staff any more than they already do. And the reason they can't is because of scanlations, basically. The industry is really struggling.
