It's rarely ever possible to fix something that is fundamentally and compositionally flawed. No one is arguing that it's easier. They're arguing that it's necessary.
Always looking for what's easy instead of what's necessary is part of how we got here in the first place.
Simply destroying something is the easy road. Because it means you don't have to think about what the problem is, only know that it's bad.
It's definitely harder to build something from nothing, but that's not the "solution" being offered. It's tomorrow's problem that you don't have to worry about yet.
It's not the easier solution, but it is the easier thought.
