Rules of Chess need to be modified to remove this absurd Possibility

I found the following rubbish of an explanation at Reddit of why an absolutely pinned piece can still support checkmate: 

 The simplest and most natural set of rules would be to forget all about check and checkmate. You're just out to capture(the problem with this lame justification is that the g7 Queen DID NOT CAPTURE THE BLACK KING AT H7) the enemy King, and the game ends when you do so, even if it's just because someone didn't notice they were in check. And under this rule it's very clear that you can capture the King with a pinned piece, because the game will be over before they can take your King in response.

BTW absolutely pinned means pinned to the King like the g4 Rook is to the White King on the f3 square(The Black Bishop is performing the sadistic task) SO KING CAPTURES QUEEN SHOULD BE A LEGAL MOVE IN THE DIAGRAMMED POSITION!!!!!!! The simple reason is that the pinned Tower cannot capture  the Black Monarch!!! Who in the fuck wrote the rules of chess to allow such nonsense to prevail!!!??????

Even the venerable Martin Stahl(dealt admirably with the devastating Joplin Missouri Tornadoes) believes the checkmate in the diagrammed position is a logical interpretation of the rules of our beloved game. I know Erickenn1 of the internet chess club would not want the rule overturned.
