Yes. A model that can answer "I don't know" would be much more trustable than the current used car salesman we have now.

Its very annoying this has been in the capability of models since the very beginning. It could check how probable its token values are and if those fall below a certain threshold either say "I don't know", or output the most probable (well, more like least improbable) tokens but give a very clear, very strong warning that it is a shot in the dark and likely to contain hallucinations.

But no, Google and OpenAI would rather always have an answer ready and tell you to mix glue into your pizza toppings :)
