Who runs an exhaust though the f@#£ing swingarm?

I LOVE my 2017 650, but after learning today (mid service) that I have to remove the exhaust system (and therefore the alloy bash plate & centre stand I've fitted) just to inspect the swingarm bearings, I could trade it in just about any bike. What a stupid fucking idea. Does the 800 have the same design flaw? Could they not at least have put a joint in there somewhere? Any suggestions, possibly to future proof this, would be gratefully received.
