    For me, I don't take all verses of the Quran as implementable. I see general verses as general that are able to be applicable today, and those that are singular or dual would not be applied today since they were likely for the Messenger and those around him.

    The verses about timings of Salah 11114, 1778 are singular and applying them generally violates the direction of the verses.

    Some verses were explicitly directed at the Prophet - "O you Prophet" 864, 870, 973, 3328, 3345, 3350, 3359, 6012, 651, 661, and 669. These type of verses are just recited and cannot be practiced today.

    There are others which were obviously for those interacting with the Messenger - those who made excuses for not fighting 945, asked permission to leave the gathering 242, who came to speak to the Messenger 5812 etc.

    All of these verses were directed at a specific people. We can take lessons from them but they were not for everyone, yet we still recite them as part of the Quran.
