Single ETOPS alt operations

Dear Ppruners,
my company is adopting the single ETOPS alternate policy...
I do have a lot of problems with this for various reasons:
-it stretches unnecessarily the window of suitability of the alt selected
-it does not provide an ETP
-the etops scenario is completely phony
-if the alt goes bellow plate mins or notam closes while airborne you are f*ck*d

Just wondering who else is using this technique and what do you think about it
