Agree. The difficulty is that the internet is big and has too many actors, so it's impossible to get everyone on board to plan the roll out.
So the next option of just chaotically enabling things here and there without carefully designed fallbacks or coordination in the larger ecosystem is causing precisely the issues that make people scream and look for the switch to turn it all off.
It's pretty crazy if you think. I don't think anyone's deploying large production systems with so little coordination and so much random switch flipping by different unrelated (but nevertheless interconnected and interdependent) parties. I can't imagine why the largest big system on planet earth would just work if people do that.
