We should definitely respect the user's desire, but the "--no-" options
exist to force bzr to give use the default behaviour.  So when a user
uses one, their desire is to restore the default behaviour.  It's not
"don't remember", it's "ignore the fact that I specified --remember".
This applies to all out boolean options, and it's there so that users
can alias commands to get non-default behaviour and still have a way to
restore default behaviour.  For example, I have "commit" aliased to
"commit --strict".  This does what I want 95% of the time, and the rest
of the time, I use commit --no-strict to restore the default behaviour.

I find it very frustrating that you are asserting that the current
behaviour does not respect user input.  When the user specifies it, it
does something.  That's respecting user input.

It doesn't do what *you* expect, but I believe that's based on a
misunderstanding of what it's supposed to do.
