>>At least in West Coast states,
The stories I've read were mostly in New York where this kind of thing happens not infrequently, so I guess - I have no data to prove otherwise.
>>My personal philosophy is that laws must be written in such a way, that they don't require any prosecutorial discretion or plea deals.
Well, we 100% agree then.
>> Instead, we have people who want to "fix the root causes of crime" or "abolish incarceration". This is destructive, and it's not helping.
I also agree.

I'm not too familiar with NY data sources, but it looks like they have reformed bail recently: https://www.fwd.us/news/new-york-bail-reform-success-story/ https://www.fwd.us/news/new-york-bail-reform-success-story/ But even before that, they had a below-average ratio of pretrial/post-sentencing detention.
