It's all well and good saying, "These are the rules, they may be nonsensical and ridiculous but they are the rules, so bite your tongue and just accept them".
Unfortunately the human mind does not work like that, intelligent people always question what is put before them, and if what is in front of them is completely ridiculous and pointless and very inconvenient then of course they will rebel against it.
The whole situation is farcical, everyone within the industry can see this. It's about time that action is taken to sort this mess out, the complete opposite of accepting it.
