i just don't believe they are adhered to in the same way.

Of course they were adhered too. Dead is dead. It does not matter if the enemy kills you or the airplane.
Not only that, if you suddenly had everyone in your force going out breaking airplanes, what are you going to fight the enemy with while all your airplanes are getting fixed? Idiots making airplane noises on the ground because they think they know more than the designers?
You guys read a few anecdotes from a very small group who gambled and won. You don't get the wartime feedback from the 85% who lost because they are not around to tell you, "Hey, that did not work like I thought it would."
Those rules and operating limits define the airworthiness of the aircraft. Within those limits, you are flying an airplane, outside of them you are no longer in an airplane but a trainwreck headed for disaster.
