Why not just discuss the wind?
I agree. I think it is because if you scrutinize too closely, the spell is broken. Once you recognize that local wind is not caused by / related to the presumed rotation of the world, why would it be on any other scale? Much like studying hydrostatics - if you recognize that no convex curvature (required for the globe to be even potentially possible) exists, then you know there is no scientific or emperical basis for globe belief. It doesn't exist at the scales we study, and so there is no reason to think it could/should on larger ones.
Buys Ballot's law determines the wind direction in relation to the local low pressure,
Exactly! Wind is created through convection.
We all get that coriolis isn't 'real'
WE all very much do not, including you. If the storms merely APPEARED to rotate, due to our presumed rotating reference frame and its presumed non-rotating isolation/separation from that reference frame (or vice versa), but weren't actually - only that would be an example of coriolis. You, like most people who were miseducated, are talking about ACTUAL rotation - not virtual/reference frame based illusions thereof.
So in the blue corner,
There are no corners. Reality does not get pay-per-view, nor does it care about/notice the outcome of the pageant/fight that we arbitrate.
Your prize fighter is old and weak, but it doesn't want to greet people at the casino yet so we keep pushing the gurney into the ring anyway so the WWE fanboys can cheer for their favorite lucador one more time. All prize fighters get weak and old, and are destined to lose. This is the fate of all models and scientific theories too - so in a way your analogy is, accidentally, quite apt.
