Of course we would, but currently the rules allow us to put two/three wheels over the kerbs as long as one wheel remains inside the white line. The problem isn't with the drivers, it is with circuits that allow you to gain an advantage by running off the track. If exit kerbs were just replaced with grass then I would guarantee that less people would run their cars off on the exit.
As has been said, it is up to the driver to drive the fastest route within the current regulations, just as it is up to designers to bend the rules to create the fastest cars.
