No kidding. The authoritarian security cargo-culting irritates me too.

The fact that 7-zip bugs are rare enough that they make news when they are discovered already says a lot about the overall quality of the code. Many other projects with all the bloaty mitigations and other ostensibly "for security" cruft still manage to create severe bugs on a regular basis.

I read posts like this and it's just so clear to me why we're so fucked.
