Write to the publisher and plead your case that they should tell BGA to do what you want. Or buy the rights to the game, then you can force BGA to do whatever you want. This has devolved into pointless ranting because the implementation isn't going to change unless one of those two things happens.

Why would I do that? BGA has implemented the game rules correctly.

Players are also free to misuse the card if they want.

I'd just like them to admit that deliberately not following the rules as written on the card is known as "breaking the rules", also sometimes called "cheating".

Well.. I'm tired of playing with people that misuse this card... I know that it's possible simply to have an option to disable it or not... The game Space Base has this option for one of the cards so why would it not be possible in this game ?

It's obviously "possible" from a technical standpoint. Any changes to the rules of a game (including removing cards) have to be approved by the rights owner of the game, as it was for Space Base (and for overpowered birds in Wingspan, etc.). If you read the rest of this thread (specifically page 6) you will see that the rights owners are fine with how Fluxx is implemented on BGA.
