Speaking only for me (others can speak for themselves), no. You pose a strawman argument: if I disagree that the bat must be placed "out of the way" for safety reasons, then I therefore believe it can be "hurl{ed} anywhere without consideration."
The batter-runner may not interfere with the defense with the bat. And, the batter-runner may not throw the bat in anger.
Just about any other way or means or location for dropping the bat is legal.
Whether or not there was a more safe place to have dropped the bat is not a consideration.
