Valid question that shouldn't be downvoted, IMO. One answer is that as long as there are worse people doing worse things, it's not immoral to build and use whatever tools are needed to stop them.
Note the last few minutes in this very video, for instance.
Don't most fly-by-wire systems have such a limiter? (unless they have a specific mode where it's disabled, like the a320's alternate-law/direct-law systems)
No idea if there's toggle or breakable wire somewhere to let you exceed these design limits on this plane though.
Yes. Brian also made a video about that plane (F-35B) earlier. They all have the title format "The Insane Engineering of.." Personally, I'm a big fan of the A-10 warthog video, and how it laid out the plane's main design goal: "how cheaply can we get a GAU-8 doing strafing runs over this 20km section of german airspace, where russian tanks may show up one day?"
The f-16 is more topical now, since it's more common, and is about to be deployed as a "cheap" plane to fight against russian planes. Like it was designed for in the first place.

Do not judge lest you be judged. (Matthew 7:1)
For the most part, countries that don't invade their neighbors or commit atrocities have little to fear from the F-16.

Shame on to the F-35 "low" "replacement", my left foot, with an outsourced DoD and hydra-like MIC.
