Two Hundred plus AR15 builds and guess what? I still lose stuff! Gone With The Wind! Amazing hang times! Lost forever in the deep shag carpet which should never have been laid in the Man Cave! Yikes Indeed!
I learned long ago those are call "Jesus springs". They launch for parts unkown and you will say, Jesus!, where did it go?The springs I hate are the ones that are so small that they are hard to find if they fly out.
I think your beef with springs is not so much with the spring itself, but with Hooke's Law & the Spring Constant.

Hooke's law states that the force needed to compress or extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance you stretch it. As an equation, Hooke's law can be represented as F = kx, where F is the force we apply, k is the spring constant, and x is the extension of the material (typically in meters)
And a simple fix to this is as follows:
Tap it with a 4-40 plug tap, trim .125 off the spring, purchase a 4-40 set screw from any hardware store, install set screw.

Should make an endplate that caters to easy access to a screw. Something like an Allen head or something common. new product on your hands.And a simple fix to this is as follows:
