      I find your comment infuriating and I don’t exactly know why. It feels like you’ve tried to explain things for a less intelligent audience. If someone said that to me, I would struggle to fix my face.

      You don’t have to use your first sentence to say that designers design designs, and you don’t have to spend two sentences (“The reasons […] but some are.”) to make a qualifier.

      You could just say “Those fucks probably did it on purpose because there’s no law preventing them from it, and they will keep doing it, too”
