I think his point is not that this group necessarily was doing
anything bad.
More so that resources need to be invested doing this sort of thing
because of those so intent on making computer use difficult.
If those with malicious intent stopped, computer use could be far
cheaper and easier since malware and prevention of would not be an
issue.
Resources could then be spent at nearly 100% to improving the computer
experience rather than so much just to protect from those whose
purpose is disruption.
