That's not IOTAs fault.

It kind of is, since this functionality should've shipped with the wallet, like it does with every other crypto.

They've never been focused on P2P and have made that clear to users--obviously they didn't hear, "Be your own bank." when that was said.

It kind of is, given they put a link to it in their subreddit's sidebar.

The key problem is that IOTA's incompetence is pervasive. e.g. https://hackernoon.com/why-i-find-iota-deeply-alarming-934f1...

That is a blatant lie. No malicious online seed generator has EVER been in the sidebar on /r/IOTA. In fact, the lead moderator warned months ago not to use the iotaseed generator.
