Our community provided a guideline as to what constructive criticism is,
that is not, it's simply criticism (without the constructive part).
The voting guidelines for anything are clear, one can vote -1 but only
providing alternative paths, while this is of course just a random
discussion
the expected approach would be the same, simply venting out criticism does
not help anybody, besides maybe make the
one writing the mail feel better.
I can understand the frustration of someone that did not put the
GeoServerInitStartupListener
as the very first thing running at JVM startup, forgetting or being unable
to do so is going to cause a lot of frustrating debugging (not just for JAI
but for other aspects as well), however simple complaints are of no help to
anyone.

I don't have a view on this problem, haven't been bit by it significantly
and/or when it happened, I could only blame myself
and did not have resource to propose an actual improvement along with the
resources to implement it
(typical case, forgetting to set the axis order hints right on startup).
Just an observation, initialization of JAI is an issue of itself, something
like setting up the registry needs to be done
at startup, very first thing, so some control over init order is necessary
there, what provides this control depends on the technology
used to write the application and its context (command line, OSGI, servlet,
aws lambda), but I'm skeptical that is actually a GeoTools
problem to solve (we'd have to marry some specific class wiring solution).
The highly dynamic nature of JAI (dynamic registry, priorities, anything
swappable at any time, but not without side effects) makes it
hard to deal with, especially today that we have replaced most parts of it.
If we ever get to rewrite it, the new version could
use some lessons learned to avoid some of these issues (e.g., it could
disallow changing the registry past a certain init point).

Andrea
