How would you then explain all of the intricacies of the "pay" and "ayin" vowel in hitpa'el and pi'el binyanim? I feel like it all goes back to the dagesh in the ayin hapoal, since that's what decides that the first vowel is short.
Unless you're advocating a wholesale abandonment of standard Hebrew grammar...? Which isn't a bad idea, but if you're going to do that, why not just finish the job and abandon Hebrew altogether, and switch to, whatever, Esparanto?
