Do you feel like that’d be a lot of trouble and that you’d never feel like wasting energy on it? I get that, but I just got used to it and don’t even notice really. I just really prefer — to - in a lot of contexts.
In LaTeX, a single hyphen is just - while getting a range hyphen (the longer one) is --. I got chewed out by my graduate advisor for getting that wrong in a research paper. The difference is visibly small, but it does matter for clarity.

Never felt like inputs have been an issue. I see installing some random software as much more complicated than pressing five keys instead of two keys.

Well yeah there are contexts in which it matters. That’s why I know the alt code for it. :D
