As I’ve gotten older, I think I’ve become less averse to this rule, especially considering the ‘liberties’ batsmen do tend to take setting off before the bowler delivers the ball.
I think the main thing that really makes this a ‘taboo’ dismissal, is the fact that it is indeed a dismissal.
Wish they could do something like deduct runs from the batting team if the mankad is successful and penalise the bowling team (perhaps with a free hit) if the bowler does it illegally. Note that I said illegally and not an unsuccessful attempt as the bowler should still be given reason to do it if the batsman is trying to unfairly gain an advantage.
