We are discussing here, I'm not "micro-agressing" anyone. If I don't like a design / re-implementation decision, and I in the mood to share that opinion with this cyber-assembly, I do it. And I expect developers to not be offended by me having a technical opinion; and I expect third parties to be even less offended. And yes, it might be a bad opinion in some cases. I'm not even 100% sure it is not the case here, because like you said they could have had some kind of justification to do that. But it suspect it is extremely rare to have a good justification to rewrite an assembler, with really big quirks on top of that, when they did it.
