Okay, but what you’re saying is hardly relevant to OP’s post, and you’re also limiting the entire grand sphere of music to a single genre that is well-known for requiring some of the most technically proficient artists in the world.
You, sir, as the farthest thing from the example.
I play sax in two concert bands and everyone gets their own, and previously transposed, music. If someone doesn’t they’re reasonably pissed.
The musical world is not your little jazz bubble. It’s huge. And most people prefer transposed music.
I'm not "limiting the entire grand sphere of music." OP brought up improvising over standards, which brings to mind the bop/post-bop/"straight-ahead" jazz world, does it not? It definitely doesn't bring up concert bands. Obviously concert bands need their music -- it's highly composed, a larger ensemble, unlike the small quartets or quintets which are the context at hand.
And yes, I'm well aware that the musical world is not "my little jazz bubble" (not mine -- read my other replies, I left that world for a reason). Sorry I somehow gave the impression that I'm some closed-minded curmudgeon. I'm actually anything but.
