Oddly antagonistic take on a reasonable comment. GP could be working together with other people, for example, in which case every such idiosyncratic configuration introduces a little social and mental friction. This is covered at length in similar conversations in Go threads, where people say things like “defaults matter”.

Obviously you’re not alone to disagree, and there are even some good arguments you could potentially be making. But to say “I question what your motives really are” and tell someone what they should be concerned with is… odd?

It’s a very common position with ample practical examples. While there certainly are valid counter arguments, they are a little more involved than “nothing is stopping you.” There is. Collaborating with others, for example.
