Yes, it is truly mystifying how they operate in some of these big projects.

Recently, we had Optimistic Ethereum (by my count, ~$250 million locked up in that network) adamantly insisting that they did everything they could to warn users that transaction history would get deleted off of Etherscan.io -- trivially avoidably, no less! -- even though none of their communication channels mention it.[1]

And that they had to make a "tradeoff" in how much effort to spend on warning users, even though their volunteers are choked every day, on Discord, with users wondering where their transaction history is.

Which, of course, pales in comparison to how a hacker found a flaw that let him print infinite ETH within their network (see the main story for that thread), and the project only lives on because he was a white hat who accepted a bounty instead.
