Seriously, this bug has been around for years and people have constantly complained about it. The only reason they would have for not having fixed it at this point is they simply do not care.

It's dangerous to claim anything is the only reason something happened because it increases the odds you could be wrong.

they simply do not care

If it's negligence that you're implying, consider a more valuable alternative. The expiration link bug is starting to look like the HN test of one's ability to tell what's important to care for. Any hacker would want to develop this ability.
