The problem with allowing players to get trained at other positions while also using Recalc is that you have players that need certain ratings to replicate their historical value that might also lend them to be prime candidates for the AI to train up at more valuable positions.
Do you want Nolan Arenado and Brooks Robinson to become shortstops in your replay, for example? I don't think most people do.
There is this attitude of wanting to "have it all" for edge case play modes without a care for how most people will want to play the game. The developers have to consider everyone.
Also, remember that until recent versions, Recalc wiped out ALL learned fielding experience each year. It seems to me the current functionality is a pretty good compromise.

Probably impossible to do, but it would be neat if the game could flag certain players throughout history as unmovable. Brooks Robinson and Ozzie Smith are two that come to mind. Maybe allow the unmovable tag to disappear when the player reaches the twilight of their career. Guessing something like that would be pretty hard to program though.
