All the moaning and groaning over something trivial to avoid with even a modicum of common sense is neither fair nor rational. Even more so since it's an intentional design decision and it's already well known to be an intentional design decision.
What common sense is your own moaning and groaning exhibiting?
It is a useful ability to be able to deal with something that isn't as you would wish.
But that is orthoganol to another fact which is that in the entire history of the world, not one thing ever got better by accepting things as they are.
