While I can't argue with you too much, I will point out that most games allow you to turn off the "catch indicator" which definitely makes tracking down fly balls more challenging. As far as a "catch button", this would not be that difficult to implement. In fact, it seems simple enough that my guess is that more than a few developers have prototyped it over the years and found that it either made fielding so difficult that it wasn't fun or so easy that it didn't really add much challenge. Just a thought...
