It's interesting the first SO comment jumped onto covid extremism right away, when that had nothing to do with the question, and got a lot of points. That's not a good sign for SO, if it's going to bring politics into the questions and reward people who do. Personally I think if there's not a performance issue, trying to enforce a policy "just because" is untenable. In this case, it seems like there was a performance issue, so that should be addressed.
