As the other commenter said, alignment issues have never been a problem.

If you're manually aligning the sheets on the photocopier bed maybe, but the edges are set up for that so it's never been an issue for me. However every photocopier I've used that was made since the late 90s lets you do the sheets individually so you can use the copier bed to align each one.

Because the ability to scale like this is so ubiquitous we're just all used to doing it.
