You're 100% right and don't deserve the downvotes. If the rebuttal is that they're power-hungry and abusive, the discussion about the number of hops is utterly pointless.

Actually, it's the opposite.

The discussion about the number of hops is the result of their attempts to thwart oversight. They are misrepresenting what they are doing, so as to avoid constraints.

In other words, they are power-hungry and abusive.
