That's what most of us do.

Sorry, but that's not true. Think about it for a moment: Every
zoning ordinance or regulation now in effect (not just antennas) was
at one time nonexistent. All of them were enacted after the fact, so
to speak, and they did indeed outlaw something that previously had
been legal. Making such a change is itself legal, whether we like it
or not. Otherwise, there would be no zoning laws of ANY kind, would
there?

Actually there is a third choice: Work to get the rule/law/ordinance
changed. It happens all the time, sometimes to our benefit, sometimes
not. PRB-1 is one example.
