I know I have seen language in some of the owner's manuals for my cars that tells you this is a bad idea, which I have agreed with for decades (I hang nothing on my keys, not even a key fob), so should we put a little of the responsibilty onto the drivers? I know that isn't PC in our society, but it's how I see things.

Yes, but with most cars, you don't hang a bunch of crap on your key chain because they weigh can damage the ignition switch over time...not pull it out of sync and kill you.
I have 3 key chains that I use (almost) daily. My Audi key (which IS the fob); my Nissan key (key + fob--2 parts); and a key chain for my office crap and house keys. Whatever car I happen to be driving, the keys to my other "stuff" get tossed in the center console, and wait there until they're needed.
