A user's annoyance does not depend on your intentions. It just
depends on what Emacs does or does not do.

Sorry, I can't follow you here. Whatever your intentions are, users
_are_ annoyed at software that does not do what it is told. I don't
see that is has anything to do with "hostility" if people try to
figure out how to serve both your as well as the users' wishes best.
