You were there, I know you remember what it was like.
Bitcoin in particular loves to glom onto a mantra and repeat it like a hive mind. The devs were all in lockstep that “there’s no deletes on the internet”. And they almost got away with it if it wasn’t for some vocal users pointing out how retarded they were. The community eventually changed their tune.
It’s an example of how it always is. It’s a myth that the ecosystem supports independent dev competition. There are thought leaders and everyone falls in line until the thought leaders are publicly embarrassed and need to quietly change their tune (without admitting they were wrong of course)
