the "but muh security" argument is absolute horseshit 99% of the time. and the 1% that actually need it, are going well beyond automatic updates to secure their systems.

you're not getting it. imagine if every single public website today using JSON switches to protobuf, you instantly lost most if not all ability to reverse those sites.

just imagine a world where protobuf replaces JSON, would you really want that? you're not thinking big picture
