Ban extremely minor remixes

I understand that minor remixes are allowed, because little kids and the majority of people new to the website would get sad/angry if their projects were removed even if they tried to change what they could to their knowledge of the editor.

However, I see absolutely no reason at all to allow extremely minor remixes to be allowed. A lot of people agree that it's annoying to have some person who changes nearly nothing on your project and gets away with it simply because they didn't click share straight after they clicked remix.

I know that you're either thinking ‘what’s the definition of extremely minor?' or 'Sigh… another person who didn't read the rejected suggestions list…'
Well here are three examples:

A SHORT PROJECT:
Before: Scratch Cat colour- Orange
After: Scratch Cat colour- Red

A PLATFORMER PROJECT:
Before:
if <touching [coin v]> then
change [Coins v] by (1)
After:
if <touching [coin v]> then
change [Coins v] by (2)

AN ANIMATION PROJECT:
Before:
say [Hello] for (2) secs
Before:
say [Hi] for (2) secs

(I bet that there is going to be someone who goes and exaggerates these examples.)

Mind that, for each of the examples, they were the ONLY minor thing that was changed in the entire project. This is the type of extremely minor remix I am talking about. If people aren't bothered to put a grain of effort in when remixing, then they don't deserve to remix at all.
I disagree. Collabs would be harder. and I would get 1 remix instead of 13(and counting xD).

What's the real problem with these remixes? They do absolutely nothing wrong.
That's why it has been rejected:

Remixes are allowed as long as at least something is changed, even if it's minor.

The title says “Extremely minor”. If it was just minor it would've been closed already.
“Extremely minor” and “minor” are basically the same thing here since they are both rather inexact phrases.
Yup, they are. And there are lots of ways to modify and remix projects - I think if someone just wants to modify the scoring system for example, they're free to do that. That's what the license is built to support.
