Nah, englishers just lack the skill.
In greek, the p is loud in pterodactyl and psychology.
Saiki for psyche, psh, that's 1/6 letters read correctly. Or with greek letters, that's 0/4 (ψυχή).
It's a more subtle P sound though, blended into the next consonant. Omitting it is the lesser of two evils compared to saying "putterodactyl"
It's possible in cleptomaniac, empty and top tier without adding an extra vowel.
