It's a classic design disagreement, an example favorable to my side
would be the introduction of automobile safety belts -- some automakers
(and drivers) didn't want them, and destructively reasoned that a car
doesn't drive itself therefore all crashes were some driver's fault.
An example sympathetic to your view might be found in Jack Williamson's
'Humanoid' stories, where robots imprison humanity so as to protect
them from harm.

No need to agree.  If error messages and consistent output in response
to unexpected data are a "feature" you never intended and don't wish to
implement, then change this bug's severity to "wishlist" and tag it
"wontfix".  Bonus: this open bug might ward off finicky users.

HTH...
