I've done this work (CRM) in the past. Archaeologists are well aware of that flaw, but it's an inherent cost of preservation because the primary loss for the developer is time. There's an inherent trade-off between preservation and time that's already pushed very far towards the speed side. I suppose you could attempt to fix it by compensating the developer with government money, but it's not obvious to me how anyone would calculate that amount fairly and uncontroversially.
