I get the exact opposite impression. Not just due to these bugs, but also the hidden webserver thing [1] a while back.
Recurring theme in this (the webserver and the installer issue) seems to be an unhealthy obsession with reducing the number of clicks the user needs to perform. They deliberately chose dubious, hacky solutions over doing things the right way due to this. It makes you wonder what other bad decisions they made in the client or server code.
