The problem is that such obvious deformities, if common in Rapture at that (BaS) time (or before even when Fontaine was still alive), would have scared Rapture into quitting ADAM wholesale and probably stringing up Fontaine themselves for knowingly selling such poison. The later stories couldnt then have happened. Remember they (game makers) had to hide/minimize all those sideeffects happening in Rapture until it was 'too late' to have the Failtopia sequence be possible.
