Alr, whoever reads this and wants this to be fixed, stop waiting and fix it yourself:
1) Install all the prerequisites and git clone OBS:
https://obsproject.com/wiki/build-instructions-for-windows
2) Edit "UI/window-basic-main.hpp" (in the git cloned folder), "UI/window-basic-main.cpp" (in the git cloned folder) and "data/locale/en-US.ini" (in the folder where the previously installed version of OBS resides) by adding the highlighted lines as seen on this page:
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/commit/829e906ac2b15d822173009cde5c90b5ec6c04c1
3) Build your own instance of OBS using the "-Choco" flag:

4) Replace the dumbed down obs64.exe (C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe) with the one compiled (build64\UI\RelWithDebInfo\obs64.exe)
5) Never update OBS until they fix this crap lol
P.S. Before building make sure your Visual Studio has the following components installed or you'll run into errors:
- C++ ATL for latest v143 build tools (x86 & x64) --
YES, YOU NEED THIS ONE TOO IN ADDITION TO THE SPECTRE MITIGATIONS ONE
- C++ ATL for latest v143 build tools with Spectre Mitigations (x86 & x64)
- C++ MFC for latest v143 build tools with Spectre Mitigations (x86 & x64)
