There are a small number of idiots out there that do not know how to use a quick release lever properly, they think it is intended to be used as a wrench, not as a cam operated tightener. I know because I used to work with one of them, I was shocked when I saw how she installed the wheel on her bike.
I know that some people complain that they are unable to seat their wheel in a frame properly to get the disc aligned properly with quick release, but I do not know what they are doing wrong, unless they bought a frame with loose tolerances. I have no trouble at all.
And a few manufacturers did not think about how their dropouts were oriented when they designed a frame or fork for a disc brake, thus a loose quick release could allow a wheel to pop out of the dropouts under braking, but that was designer error.
If you have some good reason to explain why a technology that has worked quite well for over a half century for hundreds of millions of people should be banned, you should explain why.
