It doesn't happen so frequently in practice, which is maybe why it's not felt equally by everyone in the community. I've followed some discussions on this topic and the current solution is, as you say, to place the onus entirely on the user. There is another faction that wants to support the user through the IDE to warn them of errors they might be making, and others that want to implement formal specifications that catch the errors during specifications. It's not an easy problem to fix and therefore the "simplest approach" as you describe remains the leading solution.
