Honestly i found that whole excerpt to be pretty nonsensical.
Don’t see how that relates to what i said and then you quoted but reworded (why?). Plus it all just circles back into “its bad cause the UX is slightly more inconvenient”.
If the author had any substance to his argument it wouldn’t require laying out a ridiculous scenario just to get the reader to understand what in hell he is trying to say.
He basically tldrs the whole article a few sentences later with " I want it to be easy to use." The author never seriously considers if that’s worth the cost.
