It's entrenched because relativity specifies a maximum speed. Remove locality and relativity falls apart. Removing it for some cases like correlation but leaving it for causation and communication seems arbitrary. Why? Saying "just because" feels like a hack. What untertheory underlies what is bounded by locality and what isn't? What new predictions does that make and how do you test it? Solve that, and you've got a Nobel Prize waiting for you. Saying "we don't need locality" gets you a noble eye roll. It's not like math has no concepts without locality. Locality is absent from most of mathematics. The question is, what specifically is the math that models reality? The thing that has locality almost everywhere and for almost everything but a couple exceptions? And what other exceptions can we expect? So it's not that physicists don't accept non locality, it's that so far no mathematical theory that explains the relationship between locality and non locality of correlation precisely in a way that matches reality and makes other testable predictions.
