Because you can't use pronunciation as a name spelling. The only name spellings that count are direct romanizations.

For example, the anime pronounces Lee's name as "Ri". Do you see us renaming Lee's article to say Rock Ri? No. Because pronunciation hasn't a ****'s all to do with anything. That's simply how the Japanese incorporate English words.

I doubt that they say Ri. They are trained to pronounce names correctly. For instance they always say Luffy and not "Rufi" in One Piece.
