Yeah it does, but it's how it is. Besides, there are examples of historically sound changes being actually undone later, rather than being purely a spelling artefact. Grimm's law in Germanic can shift PIE t to þ, then Verner's law can shift þ to d, and then the High German Consonant Shift can shift d back to t again.
