No it isn't. I weighed the plusses and minuses of ALL options when I first wanted to tow while hauling a TC and I came to a totally different conclusion than you did. I don't WANT to crawl under the camper overhang to mess with the hitch. I don't WANT to add a dropped section to the tongue of my trailer just so it won't hit the camper. You apparently find all of this to be worth the trouble and expense. I don't, get over it. I however, am not going to insinuate that you're crazy to do what you want with your stuff. The proof that hitch extensions work is that so many are using them with good results. That's called empirical evidence.
The nice thing about a properly setup extension is that once you have one, you can tow many trailers. YOU can only tow a trailer with an extended tongue. We are both satisfied with our chosen means of achieving the same end. Be happy with that.

Okay, okay. We get it.
You wish everybody would make tongue extensions for themselves.
If you could pass a law requiring "no more receiver extensions" you would.
Thank you! I was wondering if I was the only one that that was thinking that. :R Discussing options is what this forum is good for. Making snide remarks about other members adds nothing to the discussion, and reflects poorly on those who engage in it.
:):)
I too looked at various options and decided on a hitch extension. In fact, mine was not a "ready made" solution but a custom made solution to fit my needs. To each their own.
