Well, maybe I'm one of those nerds "who need to justify the money they spent on music school" as your friend wrote, but the 3rd of D#
is
Fx, and it would have made less sense to write D#/G. For me it's easier to read when it makes sense.

Agreed...plus if they are written sensibly, you know what it should sound like...(can hear it in your head from the chord symbols-before you play it).

I contend that in popular music, there is always virtue in simplicity - both in the chords chosen and in notation.

Maybe I'm crazy but for me D#/Fx is simpler because D#/G would make me pause to see what's wrong.
Here is a simpler example. Jeff Berlin is playing in Bb but the music is written (0:47) without accidentals in the key signature. Some may find it simpler, but for me it's weird and harder to read.
Here is how I would write it - it's simpler because if you don't see a flat or sharp (or natural), you know it's a scale note. This is what I mean by "makes sense".

I agree!
I read the initial post on FB
That's the sort of stuff that drove me from open strings.
