Why are strings offset at the bridge? Wouldn't this mean that the 12th fret is NOT the middle of every string?

Heavier gauge strings need to be slightly longer to match the intonation of the lighter gauge plain steel strings. The lower tension and larger mass of the wound strings travel slightly more when fretted. This is why acoustic guitars are offset at the bridge like this.
