Am I wrong in thinking this should be a rather easy repair/adjustment? I haven’t seen any underside damage nor is there any apparent wheel damage.

Depends on what made the gap. How is the wear pattern on all tires.
A bent axle is a simple fix for a big rig trailer repair shop. They simply bend the axle back to specs.
Suspension pins/bushing may be worn out. Not a simple fix for someone without the proper tools/work area/etc.
Its possible the trailer frame mfg shop welded a spring hanger a bit off causing the gap difference.
One of my new GN flatdeck tandem triaxle had 5/8" difference between the spring hangers
Front axle was in spec to the pin.
Big rig shop simply bent the ends of the aft axle so the tires tracked the front axle. Ran the trailer for 4 years and over 200k miles with no tire wear issues.
