... thats also the reason why your yellow ink catridge/tank is the first to go empty. Each printout, no matter B&W or in YMCK, will have this yellow dots all over the place.

So why don't the manufacturers make their printers with a yellow tank bigger than the other colors?
You typically would keep the tank sizes same in volume and reduce the amount of other inks. By that other inks are empty approx. in the same time with yellow.
Similar question can be asked: Why some (consumer) supply tanks are units and can only be exchanged together in one, even there's still dye left in one of the colors? Why do cartridges signaling "empty" even there's still enough in them?
You can sell more of units and save on dye/ink.
But why would a manufacturer want to keep the tank sizes equal, in the first place? I see no practical advantage.
If anything, having them different would prevent mistakes: customers cannot install a yellow tank in the place of a blue one, because it does not fit.
