It affects the self-selected group of folks who chose to invest an inherently untrustworthy "provider" with trusted 
status.

In other words they chose their petard willingly and with full knowledge and were hoisted by it.

Their swinging and choking is merely the logical outcome of their own choices.

You could be a good nanny and not allow folks to do stupid things -- but where would that get you?  As a responsible 
adult it is far better to allow children to make their own foolish mistakes and suffer the consequences thereof in the 
hopes that they will not be so foolish the next time around.

Some, however, never learn and the attempts to remedy ignorance with a clue-by-four are fruitless.

When being chased by bears and wolves it is clearly advantageous to permit the feeble and slow to jolly-along so they 
may preferentially satiate the bears and wolves.
