A CC representative has equally clearly explained that they are
unwilling to fix this problem. So, we end up trying to fix symptoms
not problems and the hype around CC means that there are *lots* of
symptoms. CC is being inconsiderate, in my opinion.

No, but if it's included in the licence by a licensor who considers it
part of the licence, clearly your "we all know" is false.
