People don't actually give a rip about "territory marking" or going out of their way to piss people off, because why try to put down something that has no actual benefit to your work? That actually takes far more energy to do than, you know, attempting to get something made that both functions and does what it can to both please the creators and please the players--who are, by the way, a lot of people that can't even the language this is originally from and are only bitching because What They Like isn't what they got. Surprisingly, dealing with fallout and problems is more time, energy, and money consuming than trying to get it right on the first pass, fancy that.
So there are directives from on high and a goal to appeal, and you can imagine that's the intent that is being pursued, or you can go on and keep imagining that people are Out to Get You and Anyone We Don't Like Because We Actually Have That Kind of Time and Energy.
