You also aren't obligated to play D&D. You can play something else where you don't have to ignore 70% of the game to get what you want. If you just want an action resolution system, play Kids On Bikes. Or Gumshoe. Or Genesys. Or flip a coin, heads you succeed.
If you're going to buy a system just to ignore most of it, D&D is one of the most expensive to pick.
You also can just use the rules everyone is already familiar with instead of spending the first couple sessions with everyone learning a whole new system
I want you to realise that most systems, including the ones I mentioned, are simpler than D&D. It will not take multiple sessions to learn the rules. For the love of god, you are spending more time arguing against learning new systems than it would take to just learn the new systems.
