Calling that a fault shows bias. You could just as well call it a choice.

A choice that results in consequences is normally how you assign fault for those consequences.
For those consciously omitting “and later”, the effect of not allowing that probably isn’t a fault, but a desired outcome.
“You can do A, B, and C with the software I wrote, or whatever X may at some future date decide you can do with it” isn’t something everybody is happy with. It certainly requires some long-term trust in what X will or will not do.
