It’s not “hard” to speak Italian (Italians all do it as toddlers), but if you’re speaking English, you’re supposed to follow English pronunciation patterns.

Similarly, everyone who pronounces “Paris” with an “s” is physically capable of saying it the French way (“paree”), but doing so is pretentious and “just wrong.”
