So now we have two cases, one where reflections happen and one where
they can't. The transmitter suffers exactly the same problem in both
cases, entirely because it sees the same wrong value of wrong load
impedance.

The transmitter possesses an IQ of zero. Hopefully, yours, mine, and
others exceeds that zero value. The goal is understanding. The goal
is (hopefully) NOT a reductio ad absurdum.

"Reflected power" simply doesn't enter into it.

If you don't care about the facts, reflected power doesn't enter into it.
But if you are trying to understand the physics, certainly the reflected
power enters into it. If you don't care about understanding physics, by
all means, go with your steady-state shortcuts. But please don't try to
talk all the people who are trying to understand the physics into just
accepting your steady-state religion on faith.
