Nah, I'm sure the engineers knew, or were too incompetent
As per usual, it's management who pushed for such tight development schedules that they didn't have the time to do it right while at the same time offering so little money they could only attract idiots who only know half of what they should.
I fucking guarantee you that is the core of the problem
Standard operating procedure. Every engineer knows the old rule: On time, On Budget, Done right; pick 2. No one ever picks option 3, public or private.
They definitely knew because later on in the article the writer acknowledges that in the fine print of their TOS or EULA or whatever they mention that the fact that you can't turn off the broadcasting is a "security consideration".
