This standards are well written to help us work... I you don't want to pay for quality service, this is your own problem... Don't blame the standards... We all have to deal with all that you have mentioned, but most of us have made a well designed network to do the job we need. If you don't like the standards just don't obey them... I you have so many problems I suppose you can make some packets filtering with a simple transparent proxy on your machine... just change the port of your apache to something else and filter all unwanted requests. But please don't blame the standards... without them there would be only one big chaos....
