To educate people. You can still prune a node on another client. Instead we have a huge number of bitcoiners who think core changed limits etc. which is partially causing cultural and adoption issues....
I disagree. Core is intended to be a model project: an example of best practices, but not necessarily what every users runs day to day. Demonstrating how to prune is a relevant feature of a model project.
People think Core is supposed to be some sort of authority…That is not their stated goal. It is literally core software; it would be a library imported into applications if bitcoin could have started off with multiple implementations safely from the beginning, but that wasn’t practical.
