Rotate it at capture time, before encoding. This would get rid of like 95% of these exif orientation tags. For images that need to be manually rotated after for whatever reason, sure I guess you have a point, though I'd argue the quality loss would be unnoticeable in practice unless you're like spinning the image in circles 100 times for some reason.
