Concise, clear and utterly logical appraisal of the problem.* ++ Unfortunately, as I found out to my cost a few years ago when I meditated on the same subject: Testing methodology, best practices and a pig in a hut., when you dare to question the status of their Holy Cows ("precious snowflakes"**), they'll either:
The only alternative I can see for the problems you describe is to write a complete and distinct alternative to the steaming pile of O'WoE ("pedagogical exercise in a ivory tower"**) that is Test::*. To that end; I humbly offer Assert.pm which might form the basis for the replacement for Test::Simple/More that would remove a dozen or so layers of that "faux-abstraction"** that make those modules the poster child for the art of obfuscation-through-over-structuralization. (If you decide to; and need help?) 't'd be nice to think that Perl's pragmatism would prevail here; but I wouldn't hold your breath. **Shame you're on the "wrong OS" to be taken seriously! *Love your turn of phrase! With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Agile (and TDD) debunked
