Yes, I completely agree that the bureaucratic challenge in fixing that idiocy is very, very high.

Why?

There are a million clever and useful things that you could do, if it were possible.  Which are particularly valuable for brand TLDs, for instance.

What arguments exist against it?  Was there some justification, back when that language was put in?  I’ve always assumed it was just existing registries trying to gratuitously jerk new ones around.
