Sure, but this is exactly equivalent to saying "This is why I stopped using Firefox for web browsing" in 2005 and sticking to MSIE 4/5 and its take on standards, because the websites always work.
Reasonable and practical, but which direction did get us more progress for the web?
EDID exists for a reason and is a good thing; monitors providing reliable, useful EDID data is something to strive for.
It's gotten a lot better over the years as the result of operating systems using and enforcing it more. Monitors with bogus/garbage EDID used to be a lot more common 10+ years ago.
