It's not clear that there is anything wrong with being unfair. For
example, transfer rates on the outer part of the disk can be twice
what they are on the inner part, meaning it is unfair to put files
on the inner part of the disk, but no one seems to be losing much
sleep over that injustice. :-)
Heck, giving the central parts of the disk more frequent access might
be seen as making up for their slower transfer rate compared to the
outer edge. That only leaves the inner ghetto in poverty, as it is
both slow and has to wait longer...a perfect place to put your FAT
partition for Windows. :-)
