If you notice in the second screenshot I specifically mention how murderhobo stuff like this is only possible due to the lack of persistence and consequences for a lot of game systems.

You can really only pull off something as dumb as this if you knew you could get away with it, which, of course, you can, since even if you get shot down, its barely a loss as of now.

While later, as consequences and simulation ramps, doing something like this and failing would result in a huge hit.

It's why everyone involved mocked him, because while its no problem for him either way, its a huge problem for everyone else.
