You are totally right in every aspect. There are no degrees of "airworthy".
Safety is by the book and that is how the FAA should inforce it through ramp

than ever and its getting cheaper by the day.

IA's that pencil whip an inspection are one thing.
But owners that go looking for that service are the real problem.
