I've been up there to do some work and you can barely manipulate around never mind do some kind of a nice job installing foil. I'm a former HVAC installer and I'm real skeptical about what kind of job they can do not to mention the compacting of your insulation that must occur.
I agree with everything you said. I think someone trying to work in one of those type of attics ,would make a huge mess of the insulation up there.
