Because I’ve worked at a video game company for years, and gotten a good perspective on the value of speculation.
This one time our DC does network maintenance, we alert players of possible larger latencies on the coming weekend, and the playerbase is absolutely certain the latency comes from some mythical AI-based anticheat - and that we’ll announce a massive round of bans soon.
I’m not sure whose razor it should be, but essentially ”what if there is no conspiracy” should IMHO be the default mode. If you spot weird behaviour and the vendor acknowledges it as a bug, why presume it’s actually something nefarious?
