That would just be really inconvenient for those people with accents which make the words distinguishable.

Like my mother. If I can't figure out what she's saying from context, I always have to ask her twice.

My teacher in my chem lab one year had a strong accent and it was impossible to tell the difference, we would always be like "Wait, so we can or can't mix these two things?" I'm surprised nothing ever exploded in there.
