The base paths are the correct distance based on the speed of the game. If they were any further apart, every ground ball would be an out, assuming the infielders don't boot any balls. (No pun intended)
Of course, if the pitching mound was moved back as well, that would work, but the reason that women's softball is watchable is because of it speed. Any further distances would slow the game down.
