You make a very powerful point, Bruce. Much more so IMO than anyone
else has so far.
Unless anyone else can find a convincing rebuttal, I withdraw my proposal.
Best wishes

Tl;dr: Join strings together with exactly one space between non-blank
This idea is inappropriate for inclusion in the language. There are
too many subtle details in how this should work as noted by others. To
give an example which I hope clearly illustrates that this is not simple,
what should the value of 'ｆｕｌｌ' & 'ｗｉｄｔｈ' be?
* 'ｆｕｌｌ ｗｉｄｔｈ'
* 'ｆｕｌｌ ｗｉｄｔｈ'
In case it's not clear, those are full width Latin characters which
should be joined by a full width (ideographic) space U+3000. What
should be inserted when the characters are Kanji (which doesn't
usually use spaces) or Amkharic (which uses '፡' U+1361) or a mix of
different character sets?
