Im with the earlier “yeah… No.”

Because

“If people can take case-dependence for passwords”

They cant now do they ? If they could passwords would be a-okay and there wouldn’t be any need for stickies on monitors, password managers, biometrics, SSO, MFA and passwordless authentication.

The dumbest idea in computing is assuming everyone is as smart as you.

They aren’t. Why isn’t *nix any bigger? Here’s your answer. People are stupid.

Why did IT only finally took off with windows 3.11? because people could understand that. Barely. Most of us where way to dumb for everything which came before.

Why does ipv6 acception takes so long? Because people are stupid and don’t get it. Nobody really gets hex. So they just stay with what they can read and more or less get. Even the hardest part of ip4, subnetting, has an easy way out: just add 255.255.255.0 in there and it works. Doesnt work? Keep replacing 255 with zeros and eventually it will. Subnetting on ipv6? No idea. Let’s just disable ipv6 on the internal lan and leave everything on ipv4. Zero migration, zero risk, zero training needed.

Why do so many companies only go half assed into cloud? Because they don’t get it.

Powershell? Only half, a third even, of the admins truly get it.

I could go on.

Succes is build on simplicity.
