Well, perhaps I would be less alarmist when I knew how many of these 1300 presets are actually rule-enforcing. (Or more, as the case may be...) And if the result of a discussion could be that this number could easily be raised to 1300 I would consider that 'productive'. One should never set one's aim too low, nor give up too easily.

That we are volunteers with limited time is all the more reason not to scare people away that could improve something.

And the Bishop conversion rule is not so exotic. It is just an example of a special kind of 'initial move', which does not work per individual piece, but per piece type. Perhaps such a thing deserves to be a standard option offered by a wizard, whenever one defines an initial move on a piece type. Like "can be made by all / can be made only once / can be not made only once".
