Nobody made english, nor is a language static. It is an everchanging result of millions of people using and evolving it.
A language that doesn’t change is dead, like latin is. So any rule of how something is supposed to be in a language is subject to time and place, but never absolute.

Ya and in English, we pronounce things like giant, giraffe, gin, etc. with a “j” sound.

Find me a closer English word than “Gift” that uses a J sound for the G

English doesn’t work that way. Man is the closest work to woman. Doesn’t mean you pronounce the “m” “a” “n” in the two words the same way.
