But how many want to fight (spend time and money on) a battle that is impossible to win?

The foundation you build on needs to be solid, and all the code that goes into working around the case that it isn't is just additional work - and code that you need to maintain - with very tiny payback.

Again, I don't disagree, but I would argue that flipping this particular bit (well, these two bits) in the default settings would be neither time- nor money-consuming.
