Yep — and it’s hard to argue against. Option value is valuable. Is it worth spending 20% more and de-optimizing for the core use case to support unknown future use cases? I’m not sure there’s a general purpose answer. And if you do stick to purpose-specific design and management asks for a seemingly minor expansion of scope, the “this is a small change, why did we make the system so rigid that it’s expensive to update?” is an uncomfortable conversation.
