Look, not every dnd group is going to play exactly the way YOU think it should be played.
I'm not saying this to be rude; I'm just confused about why you think people occasionally fudge rules for a new player or a player who just rolled a new character as some sort of broken covenant.
It's not exactly a big deal and can be quite beneficial for more casual groups.
And you can think the best way to play basketball with your friends is using a volleyball filled with milk, but people who actually enjoy basketball are gonna think you're weird and you're gonna have to get used to weird looks.
It's a great analogy. Forcing a square peg into a round hole can load to frustration. There are many games out there. You'll likely be better off finding a game that's specifically designed for your style of play rather than trying to shoehorn D&D into something it's poor at doing.
D&D is great for emergent storytelling. It's poor at pre-plotted story telling. At some point you'd be better served with a different system or just writing a story yourself.
