When folks complain about the "borrow checker" usually they're complaining about a superset of features including move semantics and how data works in Rust. This is far more deeply tied into the whole model of Rust and is frankly very core to the language, "turning it off" won't make it easier to learn, it will make it easier to learn a completely different language.
Besides, all of this is necessary for soundness. Turning off the borrow checker won't magically get you a compiler that is less permissive, it will get you a compiler that will very likely produce nonsense if your program would have failed the borrow checker had it been present.
