That is very true! But, at the same time (and without intending offense to you in particular) user-centric principles being written down does not prevent user-hostile behavior. I agree with you that this never hurts, and may sometimes help, but I think (and I'm sure you'd agree) having something firmer and more enforceable than a guiding principle in place is also necessary.

I'm sure there are other roles where the incentives are stacked in such a way where it's much harder for them to follow the principle."
