Dick,

In the spirit of putting the facts on the table, I can recall when you were personally advised, back in the AMATS days, that ...

"having Controllers work controlled & uncontrolled airspace together would create situations where vectoring jets could be interrupted by VFR transmissions ... WX requests, flight plan submissions, QNH requests, self separation management etc ..."

That was poo-pooed. Unfortunately, the chickens are coming home to roost.

And, as I can read your mind now, before you say ... "Ah, but if they did it the way I intended (that is, shut up) then there wouldn't be a problem"

My suggestion would be to take a large dose of reality ... that ain't gunna happen! VFR pilots need to, and will always, communicate with each other. It's one of the 3 principles of professional flight ... Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.
