Why the fear and hatred of Disjunction?

[Elemental]

No, you have not. You have certainly done a fine job of explaining why it would not work in YOUR game. Not "all other games." Personally, I would never presume to know what is best for "all other games."

Which is, um, exactly what I was saying--that your model of campaign isn't the same as some other groups. I'll rephrase:

"But it wouldn't work in mine, and it wouldn't in all other games."

(as opposed to "in any other games")

Clearer?

But, again, I would also count legendary weapons as artifacts, so that ups the number somewhat, too.

It's a sound way of making Disjunction more chancy, even if it's not RAW.
