They do have a history of such things happening, yes, which is why my comment exists in the first place. Normally, I would assume this to just be the result of regular shitty management practices paired with regular shitty profit motives.
The history makes it look like they might genuinely have a higher motive here, and I'm saying I still don't think so, because it would be far too petty and I don't see them benefitting that much from it.
I want to believe you and I hope you're right, but I have such little faith in corporations ever doing the right thing anymore.
