Wait, what's wrong with toasters that have a bagel function? It's way better than toasters that don't. Only toasting the open faced side of the bagel means you are still able to touch the outside without burning your fingers while the inside is actually toasted enough to be crispy. Without the bagel setting on a toaster, the only other option you have is a toaster oven or doing it by stove top. Toaster is way more convenient than either of those.
Unless you mean cheap toasters that have a poorly implemented bagel option, rather than full separate control of all heating elements. But you didn't specify cheap toasters. A good toaster is pretty important, so don't buy it at wal-mart, and don't get a cheap one from a proper store either. A top of the line toaster is a pretty cheap luxury, spoil yourself in an affordable way.
I’ve only seen one toaster properly implement the bagel function properly, and it was $200. Every other toaster up to $130 that I’ve tried has failed miserably, often toasting the outside more than the inside. They all aim to “warm” the outside and end up toasting it at least a little.
So, unless I'm mistaking your meaning that's where I'd flip each bagel half 180 degrees before putting it in the toaster so the inside half faces the "more toasty" side of the toaster's heating elements...unless I'm completely misunderstanding you?
I tried that as well, but it didn’t work, I think the bagels were too thick to have it work properly. It just comes down to bad design, imho.

A lot of those were in the break room at my job.
