Your friend is an idiot then.
It is not, nor will it ever be, the worst rule in football.
The only ones who say that are the folks at PFT and the folks who follow their every word thinking that being football media means they were once involved in the NFL.
The rules have been around forever: fumble outside of your own end zone is a safety, fumble outside the field of play is your ball at the spot of the fumble, and fumble out of the opponents end zone is a turnover. All turnovers in the end zone lead to a touchback, whether it is an interception, fumble recovery, or possession change from a kick.
There's nothing wrong with the rule, and there is no reason to change it.
