Is this a fair summary of your position?

   You want D to have very simple object lifetime rules or
   maybe deterministic object finalization. You are envious of
   Rust's Drop trait or similar. You dislike the tutorial tone
   of the blog, its "let me help you understand lifetimes in D",
   because it accepts D's current rules as a given when what
   you would prefer to read is a grand proposal to change those
   rules. Reading the blog has helped you to lose hope that D
   will one day change into a language you'd prefer.
