This walks like a dark pattern and quacks like a dark pattern. People's entire livelihoods are at stake and they don't care. Most likely because plausible deniability and obscure TOS rights of how and when the code is used is more valuable to them than the reputation hit. It is hard to imagine this is very hard to fix.
