Unfortunately the implementation in HA also broke a lot of addons from HACS for many people running HA in a container.

Classic software problem. "This thing is so great, its never been faster. Now if only it didn't break everything for my users"

An alternative framing. "This software could be so fast, but it's bogged down by having to support every single workflow it's ever once even accidentally supported."

From the top of my head.

* Microsoft Excel

* Python/Pandas

* Web browsers

They all do great things and deserve all the praise for maintaining backwards compatibility, havoc would have ensued otherwise.

Does not mean that they should not be replaced though.
