You don't need to ban poor-performing software to use something else, or to wait for updates that will improve it, or for competing software to emerge. All of this can take place with nothing being banned.
Banning has no place in software development at all, which is why it's not wreaking havoc on Github with projects being disappeared for poor performance. It's why you can't write to Github and request a repository be banned "FoR pERfOrMaNcE ReAsoNs". Games don't get banned from GOG and Steam for poor performance. There's simply no such thing as Raspberry PI banning software. Firefox banning pages that perform poorly does not exist. Everywhere we build and distribute software regards poor performance as something we might be able to fix, something we should wait to be fixed, rather than a bannable offense.
