Non-locality in QM is directly implied by Bell’s inequality.

No it isn't. There is still plenty of debate about the philosophical implications of Bells' inequality.

See for example this 2014 PNAS article "Quantum nonlocality does not exist": http://www.pnas.org/content/111/31/11281

You can find plenty more if you google. I personally agree with the ideas of that paper in a broad sense if not in detail, as do many people.

Second, if you are trying to argue that locality is no longer a guiding principle, note how the standard model is quantum-mechanical so obeys bell's inequality, yet we still call it "local". Locality was a key guiding principle of the standard model.
