The OP wanted suggestions for making the rules simpler and that is exactly what I have suggested. No need for any differentiation between any objects that may be found on or around the course.
I agree it is never going to be incorporated but it is my view.

What about a stony path? Your rule could encourage many to just play the shot rather than take penalty. Even forgetting the likely damage to their clubs, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable at rocks being shot off at funny angles. Best make sure every player in your group is behind you before you hit the shot.
What about a ball on a wrong green. Play as it lies, or penalty drop? I can imagine this would make some greenkeepers nervous if this was the choice you gave golfers.
