I think the opposite argument is where a lot of opposition comes from as well. Even if they don't do what you want them to, it doesn't mean that everyone will suddenly stop playing the game, nor does it mean that all new players will become overburdened and quit purely because of MSQ reqs.

Basically, the arguments are pointless here because it's 1) not a big deal to the overall game (only to select individuals, like yourself) and 2) the devs clearly want this as part of their design for now. You might say I'm speaking for them, but this is pure logic at play here that centers around the basic idea of creative freedom and weighing pros and cons against production and the consumer base. The odds are stacked against you, at this time, just based on that.
