So now you just silenced a warning and transformed it into a semantically correct form you have no way of recognizing from afar, making the original problem 10-fold worse.

It is a brain-dead feature, verbatim if you prefer that word.

You know, I used to think that design was a nuanced grappling of complex tradeoffs, but you convinced me: those you disagree with are just "brain-dead" "idiots". I think there is a relevant quote by Charles Bukowski about confidence, but it escapes me...
There often is nuance. I haven’t seen any positive for this feature, nor here, nor in the relevant github issues for the languages in question, which were quite argumentative.

But feel free to give me the nuance to this design issue that you so miss.

I can't imagine why they would be argumentative with a gentle diplomat like yourself.
I was only a spectator.
