For the sake of creativity, why can't browsers get along and eliminate vendor prefixes?

Any good workarounds to easily support cross browser compatibility without needing vendor prefixes?

For the same reason you can't open a .psd in just any program, in short. Of course, it would be incredibly nice if prefixes weren't needed.

However, until such a time, just make room in your build process for these issues. You could, for example, use something like Grunt, and then include Autoprefixer.
