I'm thinking they make huge scopes as RC scopes as it's cheaper to make corrected mirrors than make corrected lenses.

Well, its not a monster RC, its a CDK, and just something i threw together from bits laying around for simple star gazing .
But as Peter said, basically you have to live with it. You can reduce it for some types of off axis, but others, well..

I will put a bright star off axis and take a 5 minute sub and see how bad mine is. But, as of yet, i havent noticed any.
