I've always been aware of it and never had a problem with it as I use my
Gargants as fire-support for my Klans. I think in the years I've been
playing Orks I've engaged something in CC with a Gargant ONCE. Sure I'VE
been the target of CC plenty of times, but I've only initiated it ONCE.
With all the shooty weapons available to Gargants and nowhere else in the
list, my Gargants are usually used as gun-platforms.

True. So we could perhaps allow the Gargant to ignore infantry stands and
only target Vehicles, Superheavies, Praetorians and Titans.

With lots of Orks hanging out of hatches, firing their bolters like crazy!

Well as I said, they get easily distracted in the heat of battle. I don't
have much of a problem with the rule, but if there's ehough of a problem
with others about it I'd be happy to see it changed.
