I understand your point of view. However, this solution may even worsen
the problem over time: If people are not forced to use proper VID/PIDs
for their devices, they won't do it. They may not even be aware, there
is an problem. This kind of approach can potentially lead to a very
unpleasant situation. The ACPI hell which resulted from a similar
work-around-attitude is one example.
