> They're like an arrogant chef who, after cooking your dinner, instructs the waiter to remove all the salt and pepper shakers from the table because they don't want you changing the flavor of their dish.
They are more like a chef who asks the waiters to not add salt or pepper to the dish before serving it to customers, because the customers will blame the chef then. If the customer adds a ton of salt, then it's clearly their fault and the chef says he is fine with that.
Sounds reasonable to me.
