The threat they are trying to guard against is binary liquid explosives, where you mix two liquids to make a bomb, so volume does matter. Of course, it's a idiotic way to accomplish their goal anyway, but their goal is idiotic anyway,

I'm willing to entertain that this is true, but it's also possible that the companies that sacrifice good engineering are setting themselves up for big costs later, like, for example, if someone uses one of your security holes to
