Aaq, halacha was given with galus in mind, and it was also given before there was a bais hamikdash. Nowhere in normative halacha do we find discussions of such things. To put ourselves in situations where the best we can do is posit ad-hoc theories about what the halacha “might” be, is to push avodas Hashem on the back burner and put our own interests first. This is what “I” want to do, now let’s see how we can fit halacha into it… that’s not an eved to a master, it’s a person who is living for themselves and trying to assuage his guilty conscience.
