 This style is in fact followed by the sefarim of acharonim and rishonim
themselves. Ramban on Chumash, for example, often states that Rabbanim say
xyz, where it's just one shittah among others that differ. And sometimes he
goes on to disagree, offering a variant explanation without noting that
it's the shittah of the bar plugta! . And yes, it bothers me.
