well they mention every name that they know of, not all of cholei yisrael
that being said, its really annoying

In case you haven't noticed my comment is tongue-in-cheek. Either way, that suffix is meant as a catch-all so you don't have to mention more than 5 names on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Additionally, it's challenging when fellow shul-goes misunderstand the mi shebeirach lecholim as an opportunity to mention their entire family and the dog too...

No, not even on Shabbos. And no mishebeirachs in between aliyas either. They are not necessary. And even for cholim, send in the name to the gabai before shabbos.

Just gonna throw this out there: It is only permissible to mention cholim that you might not be able to daven for after Shabbos.
PSA I do realize this may be contrary to what most shuls do but nonetheless it is the Halacha (at least according to every rabbi I asked...)

According to my Rav the whole thing is problematic and shouldn't ever be done. The reason why it's not stopped is because it's been the minhag for so long.

I'm not so sure how long this minhag has been going on as I'm sure it started with cholim msukanim
