I have a chip on my shoulder? I'm speaking as a customer. You're giving me excuses as to why I should compromise my own convenience and security to make your job easier. Why on earth would I care about making your job easier?

Facebook provides value and poor, lazy anti-security undermines that value and puts me in the inconvenient position of thinking of a move [1]. And for what value? So developers don't have to write a switch statement? Seriously?

[1] It's not as simple as "just take your business elsewhere". The only purpose of facebook for me is connecting with friends and family. So going while they all stay is rather pointless. Getting other people, who have a different circle of friends/family, to move with me would be practically impossible.
