Except there's gonna be one pilot who for whatever reason tries to comply, and ends up in the mud. Because nobody had the cojones to deal with the real problem and tell the controller with the inappropriately calibrated sense of urgency to quit using certain words when the weather is bad because that's the opposite of safe operation.

Feel proud you're not gonna be bullied into driving your plane into the mud, then whine and complain when you have to waste 2 days at ops day training because there was one pilot who tried to help out and ended up in the mud. Nope. Fire the idiotic controller who is shovelling additional risk and additive factors into our operation, maybe save us a couple dozen million bucks or even a life. Not quite as manly as sucking it up and taking it like a man so you can brag about how you ignored that one overly aggressive controller, but I'd rather remove the toxic threat from our ops so it's not even a factor any longer.

"Unable, please mark the tapes", note to chief, report to FAA. That'll fix it quicker than trying to teach 10,000 pilots when it's ok to ignore a controller's instructions.
