I am constantly amazed and sad to see how many pilots and controllers still do not get it .
Correct.

I believe the whole point of the SID is so that the controller does not have to mention these things. If the controller starts having to mention the altitude restrictions because of an error, then the controller starts having to mention the routing because of another error, then the speed restrictions because of someone else's error, then the controller might as well do it the old way where there were no SID's. And then after that, there will be a miscommunication between controller and pilot leading to an error requiring SID's to be issued again.
The better solution is to just read the chart properly. No system is foolproof. But printing important things more clearly, as has been done after this incident should help.
