Castling doesn't do anything to help the game. It hurts the game by putting the King into a safe position early in the game. Chess would be faster and more exciting without it.

One of the rooks would then take FOREVER to get out, and brute-force casting exists

GoodChessWizard, does "brute force castling" mean that when it is your move and the way is cleared to castle, that's your forced move? A bit like the "you must move out of check" rule. It's interesting, but it does give Parliament even more power over the monarchy...😀
