Also it's sort of amazing how few people modify their tools and remove the objectionable bits.

For example, Java. Checked exceptions. Everyone hates checked exceptions. They're totally optional. Nothing in the JVM talks about a checked exception. Patch javac, comment out the checked exception checker, and compile. Nothing goes wrong. You can write Java and not deal with checked exceptions.

Likewise, you can modify rustc and make it not enforce the orphan rule.

Too many people treat their tools as black boxes and their warts as things they must tolerate and not things they can fix with their own two hands without anybody's permission.
