"A moose once bit my sister. Therefore all meese must be sacked".
I have trouble seeing this as a steeled version of anything. "People have uncovered a flaw in the system, therefore the entire system is unfit for purpose" does not really make a compelling argument. It displays selection bias, hasty generalization, nirvana fallacy, and something about babies and bathwater.
If people have "uncovered a flaw", but there is reasonable expectation that the flaw is very widespread and broadly ignored, then there is a reasonable suspicion that the flaw is being weaponized in this case. This is why in many legal systems it is in fact a valid defense to note that the law you are being prosecuted under is not being broadly applied, implying state caprice and corruption.
I will argue it is not the a flaw in some random aspect of the system, but the main propose of the system. Which is to vet companies they trust to distribute it through CA signing.
Do you think I will buy from a restaurant after finding they had expired food? Good food is the reason I'm there in the first place.
