Unfortunately we're still stuck with caltrops as the standard d4 shape when so many better options exist
There are not too many choices if you are a fan of platonic solids
Platonic solids exclude the Rhombic Dodecahedron, so who needs them?
Standardising on D6 only?
That's a really shitty d12
How would this work?
I mean you could use a d8 with duplicate 1-4 numbers.
Or a d12 with 1-4 three times, which is what I use for my d4s
The original d20s doubled as d10s. They came uninked and you were instructed to use two different colored markers to mark one set of 1-0 one color and then second set a different color.

Rejig everything so it's so multiples of 6.
Warhammer moved from D3, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 to just D6 (and D3 from D6) You need a lot of D6, but they're ubiquitous.
Wouldn't that change the probabilty curve? I guess it could be nice if you wanted to limit critical success and failure but it might reduce the sense of randomness.
That's actually a tough choice, I like having a variety of shapes for my click clacks but I despise the caltrop d4
