No, English isn't a perfectly simple, easy to learn writing system. It's among the hardest writing systems to learn.
I can't accept this after decades of hearing 2nd language speakers attempt to trivialize my native language as "easy".
With half the world telling me "English is easy", then it's now on them to learn the easy language. No excuses. Get to learning.
Most of your examples don't really become big issues day to day either. They may never become lawyers using English, but they'll maintain just about any other career including a medical doctor.
