I don't understand why the assumption is that the problem is all ATC's. I regularly fly with guys who accept "max speed to the field, cancel STAR speed restrictions" and are back at 210 or sometimes even 190 kias, with 20 nm to run, when the only regulatory speed limit is 240 kias at the IAF. 240 kias could easily be held to 12ish miles without contravening any SOP, or stabilised criteria.
I often wonder at ATC's ability to cope with such wide ranging performance criteria. It's a bit like driving on the open road, speed limit 110 kph, and having a long line of cars stuck behind the dawdler doing 80.
