I am always amused by "it's bad because it's bad at things it wasn't designed to be good at" rationalizations.

There are things that are quite good for other than what they were designed for.

I find it interesting when someone mentions that X is bad for something it was not designed for, as much as I am interested when someone mentions that X is good even if it was not designed for something.

There is a huge difference between "X is good/bad at something it was not designed for" and "X is bad because it's bad at something it was not designed for".
