False analogy. Creating a file upload service with no authentication or no resources to keep it safe is like installing a fully loaded AK 47 at an intersection and hoping people would just use it to learn how it works or use in an emergency to shoot at criminals passing that intersection.

There are free file upload services and there are ways to upload from command line(1).
