They do!
All racing cars have more sensitive (or a lower steering ratio) than 'normal' road cars...
However the real racers have to deal with G-force, uneven roads, fatigue and, most importantly the possiblity of a very quick death should they mess it up..
There has to be a balance between sensitivity and safety. This is the point that your missing. You're not going to die because your PC racing wheel is too sensitive when the guy in front of you spins out and you react and crash.
Understeer and oversteer would be a nightmare to control, and god help you if you get a blow out on one of the front wheels at 200mph..
In an F-16 if you try and do something that would get you dead then the computer will just stop it happening. That's the pay off for such a highly sensitive stick.. you're not really in control, the plane is.
Fighter pilots have to deal with the same forces a racing driver does,and then some. Do you think it would be easy to make very small movements of your arm whilst being bounced around all over the sky in a purley mechanical WWII fighter with a tiny stick travel?
You're simply ignoring the saftey factor in this because you're basing you point on computer games, sitting at a desk.
