Breaking architecture to improve parsing security on files that are almost always received from a trusted source is really a horrible choice. It's saying, "Fuck you" to those users.

The engineering decision is made worse by the fact that making a fallback to support those platforms would be simple, and is already mostly implemented. It's a bad enough decision that I'd have to say the person who made it is not an engineer, he's just an asshole.

The fact is, human beings cannot control their greed in the presence of surplus.

OK, this is an interesting topic.

If money is just on the ground, or gold found in the earth, most of us would pick it up.

If you had $10k in your wallet, most of us would not take it from you, and especially wouldn't take it by physically harming you. A few people would.

An even smaller percentage of the population would actively kill you to take the $10k from you.

'Greed' isn't a problem if it doesn't cause harm. There is a small percentage of the population (griefers) who will happily enshittify things. Bankers only see things in terms of dollars, they don't consider the harm they cause (although they do usually try to follow the law).
