- the language still allows you write the unsafe version even with defer. By your logic fallible humans will continue to write these class of bugs because they can. - adding a whole new flow control construct will introduce a whole new class of bugs. The dog barking example is cool for demonstrating how defer works, but is completely unreadable for what it does, programmers will write code like that because they are allowed to, and unreadable code becomes buggy code. - to make a language safer you should remove the things that make unsafe behavior possible, not add constructs which make safe behavior easier.

Isn't water flow rate automatically collected, at least for larger rivers and creeks? Can't low flow be flagged automatically?
> Even if the state water board had learned of the Merced’s withered conditions earlier that summer, it might still have taken months to enact new regulations to protect the river
This seems like something that shouldn't require enacting new regulations. Enact the regulation once, and enforce the regulation always.
I don't disagree with your overall point, but the government being allowed to buy this data can create the market for the data in the first place, even if no one else wanted the data.
