We are definitely not trying to make life harder for editors.  We are just
trying to figure out the best solution going forward.

Visual editing is a HTML-based operation, and HTML has structural semantics. 
Longer-term, it would make for a better and simpler software and editing
interface if templates generated entire html elements instead of part of
elements (which these templates do).  We are just trying to reconcile wikitext
structural information with HTML structural information with a view towards the
long-term.

While we definitely welcome participation and support of existing template/bot
authors here, we are definitely not planning to offload this job of writing
bots or updating pages onto editors.

All that said, resolving this issue might well involve a temporary interim fix
and a strategy for a longer-term resolution that moves wikitext and templates
towards a more cleaner solution that is more aligned with HTML DOM semantics.
