You are choosing a really bad example to make your point. Not letting extensions operate on the actual site where you install the extensions isn't being "comically evil" by any means.

I think your comment says what I want to say much more elegantly. "No screens on Sundays" is just another dimension of "No Netflix after 8pm" or "No TV in the bedroom". It's weird to rail against one but implement the…
