The problem with sticking to code is most people would have to rebuild much of their utility infrastructure in their home to be compliant while still having adequate performance. When someone decides to meet code they realize they will have to add many ground loops and that they are so far out of compliance they scrap the whole idea. For example, who is actually going to replace a 16awg RX antenna just to meet code at 14awg? Who is going to purposely add ground loops in their shack to meet code? Once you realize you are out of compliance it just makes it easier to give up.
