Why does it need to be THIS faulty? If there is a known method to
prevent such faultiness, it can be reliably implemented in A, so that
all its descendants keep it, unless they are fairly sure it's not
needed anymore or there is a better alternative.

It's not necessarily better, but I'm trying to make explicit in what
sense is it worse, that is what is the contribution of your framework
to the overall problem, if virtually the same thing can be done
without it.
