They’re just following John Green’s policy on electricians and witches: “If you don’t know how to do something well, hire someone who does. My policy is that I don’t change the wiring in my own house, and I don’t hex my own enemies.” (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mxdwS3f209E)

I am going to blame Microsoft, because “works out of the box” shouldn’t conflict with “secure out of the box.”

And while I won’t blame Linus for insecure-by-default Linux configs, I will blame whoever integrated the distro/dockerfile/etc.

I remember when the local Safeway had one of these! I’m pretty sure that was in the '70s, though. It’s just slightly possible that I might be old.
