I think that kind of thinking is misguided and paternalistic. By the same token, hardware stores should not sell hammers because they are not a general solution to all home improvement problems. Give me the tools. Let me (and my customers!) decide whether my solution is appropriate.

IBM has a long history of disliking point solutions that are useful only in very special circumstances. Its resistance to supporting the use of symbolics in JCL is not, for example, truculence. It is a reflectkon of the fact that no really robust way to provide this support can be devised.
