So I take it that nobody openly supports the idea that the earth bound
twin physically ages at a faster rate than the traveler and that this

Not even close. How can the act of acceleration out in space
influence things back on earth? It's all based on the notion that
their worldlines through spacetime have different lengths. There are
indeed other ways of looking at it, many of them valid, but that's the
one I prefer. The act of acceleration is only incidental to the
scenario, being the only way the traveling twin can turn around and go
back.
