I know what you mean BM but at the same time want to mention:

I can think of several times in my career where I, along with my partners, passed on players traveling all over the court.

Some players have severe mental/physical impairments that are quickly recognized by everyone. The situation was such that everyone, specifically the player, was just happy to be part of the game. Of course, the players traveling resulted in zero advantage. Those are some of my fondest memories. Everyone instantly recognized the true spirit of the game.

I've been involved with Special Olympics for over forty-five years and with Special Olympics Unified Sports for about twenty years, so I fully understand the concept. Each level (I believe that there are four levels) of Special Olympics Unified Basketball has its own rules appropriate for that group, and allowing travels, illegal dribbles, etc., is one of rules in some levels.
