Unfortunately, there are quite a few of us for whom "correctness"
doesn't mean "automatically try to eat all the resources available".
Your view of what is useful behavior is far too narrow-minded ...

Well, my idea was more along the line of "automatically try to acquire a
reasonable amount of the available resources".
You know, you don't jump directly from 0,1% to 100%. There's a lot in
between. "In medio stat virtus".
