It is possible to not see this as a problem without wanting to exploit the possibility of reloading. Some may simply want to object to Larian spending time on what they see as a non-issue, possibly implementing changes that could have a negative impact on gameplay.
I'm not trying to run interference, I was trying to point out it is possible to have a different opinion without simply wanting to save scum (you yourself said it is apparently fine for regular containers despite claiming "An exploitable mechanic is an exploitable mechanic"), and the debate itself was futile at this point.
How come it is ok for you to suggest a change or claim something is a problem, but somehow if others give opposing viewpoints there is something wrong with that? Your motives are pure, anyone who disagrees with you... well obviously there is something wrong there? You can continue discussing this indefinitely, apparently, but any objections are some kind of crusade?
