I sort of feel the same way though not quite to the extent that I ever felt all that bothered by it. Like you though I prefer my 1911s to be full size guns (though I do have some "slightly abbreviated" Commanders and Officers Models in .45ACP too), and I like them all to be in .45ACP.
I have had a few full size Colt Governments in .38 Super and while they were alright I just didn't like them as much as I did the Commander size version. To me the smaller caliber, like the .38 Super or the 9mm., meant having it in a smaller size 1911, even if it was less than an inch taken off the slide/barrel. I don't know if this is sounds a bit unusual or not but it's what I like and what I have gone with over the years.
I know it's all purely subjective, but I kinda feel like a 1911 is just meant to be chambered in .45acp. Anything else just rankles me,
