Not sure why I nee to expand.Crypto is about immutability and decentralization. If you see no reason for that I see no reason to explain. the hard fork was for getting money back.

if crypto was about immutability, then we wouldn't have things like homomorphic encryption would we :)?

Decentralization? A hard fork is something that only happens because of decentralization. If your system was centralized you would never have seen a hard fork.
