The e at the end of the word makes the previous syllable longer. See saxophone/mastodon, Brightstone/Brighton, trampoline/mandolin, etc.

I BET there are a buttload of exceptions, but removing the e from the end of those words might mess with the pronunciation.

Gone, have, live, love, come, etc are all super common exceptions to the "rule."

English is a complete mess. The inconsistencies create a massive and unfair burden for people to learn it as a 2nd language and then the language is so difficult to master that it forces people to keep relearning it throughout their entire life which doesn't leave much room for learning other languages.
