It seems like this is an issue of tooling, no? If crypto by definition is to be without governance, and contracts are immutable, then you better use some damn good tools/services to make sure transfers and contracts are setup and executed correctly. Any type of silly mistake like this should be made practically impossible, since it's inherently irreversible by design.

So was this guy just playing around with manual setups? Or is that perhaps the only way to do things?

I think crypto requires low level interactions for things like this. Tooling is good for abstracting payments, but if you're using it and don't understand what's happening under the hood there are so many pitfalls.
