It seems the reason is that you 

* don't tell us what you use (apparently Sphinx, not Docutils),

* ask at a Docutils users list,

* want to achieve something where Sphinx works differently from vanilla
  Docutils (overriding the "class" directive, overriding the interpretation
  of "literal blocks").
  
Depending on your task and wider circumstances, you may consider, e.g.

* using a simple text format with fixed width fonts and forget about
  any kind of markup.

* use Docutils instead of Sphinx, read some basic documentation and ask for
  specific problems here,
  
* use Sphinx, read some basic documentation (https://sphinx-doc.org/)
  and ask for specific problem there.
  
Trying to vent your undestandable frustation somewhere else might improve
the responses from people that develop the tools in their spare time.
