I agree. In particular I find it a specious argument to insist
on religiously associating "()" with function calling and the
lack thereof with variable access. I don't see myself, when
seeing an expression like "generator(x, y, z).map!(x => x *
x)()", going like "holy cow, good I saw those trailing parens,
otherwise I would've sworn it was a variable". Trailing parens
in UFCS chains are just warts, this is the reality. Let's deal
with it.

And what do you think about map!(x => x * x) = generator(x, y, z)
?
