That’s like saying that prior to introducing seatbelts, we should have allowed for a period of time to glue people to their seats because it is preferable to have a mitigation they can apply themselves than a fix the manufacturer has to put in.
If you don’t limit mitigation to "a config setting" (and why would you?!), a patch/new version is the best mitigation you can get.
