It specifically says you can get it through "trading," hence you get it from librarians, and the abandoned build problem still doesn't fix that players who have spent months or even years building here don't want to lose their builds, in addition they want to share those builds with others, hence the world save isn't a good solution. In addition, many players have spent thousands of dollars on their builds, are you gonna figure out a way to return that money? I know I've spent at least 5k on my builds, on things like warps and tool repairs, If the server reset, I'd be losing all that investment, some of which was paid for using real money or came with the vip 3 upgrade. There are good reasons why the server hasn't been reset,and until you can come up with a good solution or frosty randomly decides to reset, it's probably not gonna happen. A better solution would be to create a new world, like other servers have done, and have an Old town and a New town so that there is a transition period where players can keep their old builds and start making new builds in the new world, and then when Old town is nearly abandoned, that world can be removed and a save of it distributed.
EDIT: In addition to be obtainable by trading, you can also get mending and frost walker from fishing, so anyone with a puddle and a fishing rod can get it, so the cost of villager trading doesn't matter either.

Sorry about that whole “shooting you” thing, but I know if you look deep into your heart, which is currently all over that tree, you’ll find a way to forgive me.
