Also have never got an answer to why all the churning of sand.

There are ways to extricate yourself from plugged lies...I too played Havana and hit into some bunkers...a few plugged...most did not..I got out of all of them. Perhaps not as close to the pin as I'd like.
I'm about a 5hndcp and practice my sand shots. I've not idea what level you play, but if you don't practice regularly then it is expected that you might have trouble from different kinds of sand.
It is rarely the sands fault for the inability to hit a shot to get out of the hazard and it is not supposed to be easy to get out without putting the time in to learn how to do it from many conditions.
So your options are to practice, hit more accurate shots or complain.
This is not meant as a rant against those who don't practice, but in my 50 years of playing the largest segment of the golfing population don't practice and yet still expect to be able to hit difficult shot...or even easy shots consistently. It doesn't work that way...sorry.
