Mmh, not really. "Its" is consistent with other possessive pronouns like "his" and "hers". "It's" is consistent with other contractions, where letters are removed ("it is" or "it has").

Can argue they should have the apostrophe too. Like Tom's or Roosevelt's. "Her's" Those just don't happen to be (very) ambiguous.
