Lifetime annotations are an other ugly unreadable quirk. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one.

Those aren't syntax though. Without lifetimes you don't have memory safety without GC. There are plenty of languages that don't have memory safety, and plenty of languages with GC, but they don't broadly share Rust's goals.

The problem is not lifetime but its annotation.
