Sparkly, I have no idea what kind of MO you are.
The only thing I know in relation to you and MO that you seem to think that MO is “less” frum than chareidi, and that their halachic shittos are less legitimate. I don’t think that my path is less frum than chareidi, and for me, I am more frum with this approach than I would be if I was chareidi. The reason I chose this path was not to “get away with things”, but to have a truly authentic Judaism that resonates with me and enhances my avodas Hashem.
