I can't see this as a problem imo, because of the tone nob - it can be use to change the sound of the guitar. Frequency analysis shows that Fender single coil pickups have both higher levels of both high and low frequencies, with lower levels of mid range frequency. This gives Fender guitars with single coils that trademark twangy sound. If it's a pretty decent guitar with good pickups and the electronics in it are OK one can use either the tone to warm up the sound or use the volume to bleed off some of the high end off the single and still end up with a decent sound. Having a Strat in the 2 or 4 position also warms up the sound a bit too.
Even though I like Fender guitars, I don't think Fender is the greatest guitar company out there when it comes to manufacturing quality guitars down to the finest details, and feel sometimes they rely on their reputation from the past to sells their guitars - but this is true with most guitar companies imo.
