Nowadays with ~100 bucks you can an amd64 box and a CEC adapter, which allows to use the default remote of your tv. Then you can install on it whatever you want, customize it however you prefer and have all the privacy you decide. No lock-in. As much AI as you like, zero is a valid option.
I agree with the sentiment

I assume there are multiple developers. If the developers are based on North America or Europe that money does not guarantee a living wage for more than.. some months?
I hope it's clear that what was proposed above is just a toy problem to show the issue. In complex parts of the code, unfortunately, these errors sometimes happen. That's a fact.
A programming language should actually try to protect you from some logic errors. This is why have we programming languages in the first place. Otherwise why bother with garbage collection, types etc? Should we just use assembly then for maximal flexibilty and putting all the burden on the programmer?
``` a, err := f() b, err := g() if err != nil {} c:=a+b ```
The language will happily build and run, even though it should prevent to let you shoot in the foot.
