>I fucking hate the "It's because of security" excuse companies default to so god damn much. Really burns my hide. 99% of the time it isn't. It's just an excuse

>I fucking hate the "It's because of security" excuse companies default to so god damn much. Really burns my hide. 99% of the time it isn't. It's just an excuse to cover lazy or poor product management and engineering. See also liability/safety and in a more limited set of contexts, national security and children. The people who really make me want to break out ye olden guillotine are the ones who'll spot the BS in one context but who's knee-jerk reaction is to take it right down the throat or even defend the BS without even a hint of critical thought in another. Have some self-awareness people.
