Mt. Hildebrandt, you are being unreasonable.
The problem has been clearly explained to you, and it is your problem
to solve. You must not expect people who are managing a Web resource
which may have many thousands of clients to solve problems for every
individual client. It "does not scale". It cannot be done.
You need to access the Website using HTTP/1.1 not the old HTTP/1.0.
You need to ensure that the client requesting the resources tells the
host which virtual host it wishes to contact. That is the purpose of
the "Host:" header.
If your client does not send the correct headers, the software which
receives the requests cannot pass them to the right server instance
because your client has not told it which one it wants to talk to.
