If a malware bypasses a function directly, then closing that loophole would force future versions to find more complicated ways of achieving the same thing, which makes them more visible in the long run.

Edit: Also, Microsoft sucks. But now that the ugly crap is out there, you'll come to face it eventually. Why not be more prepared?

What are you even talking about? Where have the goal posts gone? You wanna know what else sounds like malware? A program randomly and persistently taking screenshots of my computer and sending it to someone.

My goalpost never moved. Technically, the feature can be improved.
