Fetishism is not compatible with sound engineering.

"Cared only enough" is just your projection. The contractor knew the requirements, and satified the requirements with no waste of engineering time, and no risk of memory reclamation interfering with correct operation. The person complaining about leaks wasted both his time and the contractor's.

You had a good comment going until the last sentence.

When your job is performing an analysis of the code, five minutes asking for a dangerous feature to be justified is ridiculously far from a "waste of time".
