I don't know if I'd call it sickening, but yeah, this doesn't seem like a good idea in any way.

I don't think a write-in is necessary if ballot access restrictions are reasonable. Unfortunately that's not the case in most states.

Presumably you would still be able to spoil your ballot, or does the bizarre American obsession with stupid voting machines get in the way of that?

You can still spoil whatever you want, but it isn't generally reported as an invalid vote. It's just not included in the total.
