Fuji has released lenses with even more distortion before, the XF 16-55 for example.
On the other hand, it's not that they don't know how to correct distortion optically. Some of the primes show almost none at all. But even within one product line, there is no consistency. Take the "Fujicrons" for example: the XF 23/2 and 50/2 show a very low amount of distortion, while the XF 35/2 distorts heavily (and so does the XF 16/2.8, btw.)
