It could be worse. Latin just has active and passive...Ancient Greek has active, passive, and middle, plus a whole mood that Latin doesn't have, the optative (alongside the indicative and the subjunctive).
Slavic languages, still being spoken, are even worse, with "perfective" and "imperfective" verbs...plus half of them are written in the Cyrillic alphabet.

Stop loading Latin into your head.
All of the folks who spoke it are dead.
