Does it have to be either?

It sounds to me as if this is a deliberate design decision, and people are
disagreeing over the severity of its implications.

Some people refer to that as a "feee-tchure" or "Broken As Designed". It's

To be fair, "Surprise!  Nothing works" would be a little more surprising.
