I have never understood the disparity in the ball/strike call, and I have never understood MLBs hesitency to do anything about it.
The ball/strike should be one of the easiest calls in baseball...you only have to look at one thing (the pitch), and you know where the play is going to take place every time. Its also arguably the most important call in the game...there loads of data showing the differing success rates of batters depending on a 2-1 vs. 1-2 count, etc.
