You mean we should implement a rule different from the highest authority for chess? I don't think this is a good idea. The current rule might look stupid, but it is very clear and leaves no wiggle room for interpretation.
Where would you draw the line? There are positions that the lone piece can force a mate. How much stupidity can we assume? Where is the line? How about other highly unlikely won positions? Who would decide, and for what reason?
And talking out of own experience, it is very possible to move outlandishly stupid and arrange help mates...
There is always a point in saying that you could have moved faster before, and you lose due to bad time management rather than unfair methods. And if you absolutely want to avoid this, play with increment.
PS: yes, it is very annoying if you lose that way (how do I know...). But still perfectly legit.
