Certain pieces, like pneumatic tubing, almost require cutting in order to
use them. In fact, a lot of Lego produced sets come with long lengths of
tubing and instruct the builder to cut them to length.
How about the stiff "flex" tubing (the small diameter stuff the normal
pneumatic tubing fits over)? That must always be modified (i.e. cut) in
order to use it in a MOC.

So are you saying that you're intolerant of those of us who modify their
parts? Do you not care to look at MOCs created by us "non-purists"?
I like to think your "all the rest" category are just those people who
"think outside the box".
When Lego makes a new part, quite often it is a modification of a previously
existing part. What if you look at modifying parts from the perspective that
we're just beating Lego to it?
For example, prior to the introduction of 5L axles, I was making them by
cutting longer ones (as were many other people). Now, I make 7L axles, and
I'm sure Lego will introduce those in the near future.
