>Most people are actually very much okay with "Thou shalt not kill"
I don't think that's true. Most people are very vengeful and do not hold that view.
>It turns out that things are frequently more complicated than absolutist rules allow for
imo "absolutist" is mostly used pejoratively. It's dissonance to believe both "People should be able to express themselves however they way" and "Racists should be ostracized." The logical consequence of the second is to disallow racists to speak. It might be OK according to your moral compass, but that's antithesis to free speech and more akin to "people should be able to express themselves if what they say is something I allow."
