But why can't they do 800/1500

There's nobody examining this.
They're generically so superior at sprints while others are so strong a distance that there's no real interest in those countries for the middle distances. You'd just do the one you'd be best at.

I'm basing this purely on how it looks in the olympics but taekwondo seems like it'd be such a shitty and impractical martial art to learn for self defense. "Let me just bounce around and try and flick some high kicks at you". You'd just get knocked the fuck out or taken down trying that in a real fight.

I've found capoeira very helpful as self defense. Nobody can beat me and I look like a total badass.
