The image show the pallet arrangement in the standard 20ft container. I wonder why the pallet is not design to be perfectly fit to the wide of container when aligning.

Everybody has already mentioned that pallets and containers were built at different times to serve different purposes.
The reason we don’t change the standard pallet is because it’s an easier undertaking to build wider containers than change the standard pallet size because of automation. There’s thousands of different machines and conveyor systems built around the standard 48×40. There’s no real incentive for every manufacturer to change over to a different size.
