But perhaps you're correct that English speakers are happy to have poorly formed Devanagari and a Japanese typo on the logo.
Not especially 'happy', no, however the existing logo (for all its possible faults*) is the one which is a registered trademark and the cost / time of trying to change that world-wide would probably be excessive when there are better things (ymmv) to spend the cash on.

* There used to be a saying "It's not a fault, it's a feature" and maybe that applies in this case too. The glyphs-which-aren't demonstrate that there is 'design' involved rather than the logo just being a collection of standard typography. As such one might argue that by having these 'faults' we are ensuring it is a registrable trademark.
