People aren't naive; they are actively trying to circumvent the warnings. Again, my argument is the name is not the contributor. People are just abusing the system, and Tesla is taking a passive approach in regulating how Tesla's customers use their own possessions. Why they are taking a passive approach is unclear, so I guess someone could conclude it is because they want free good or bad publicity, but that would be baseless conjecture at this point.
I agree that Supercruise offers more protections. Many cars offer more protection to the driver and to the driving public too with safety software and driver aids. I am assuming you aren't special pleading Tesla and are equally disgruntled with them too.

Without having the time to read through the updated article, there are two problems with how tesla is handling their driver assistance features.
1. Their marketing, for years, has been describing their (not that great) level 2 system as if it were a level 3+ system. The use of FSD is evidence of that.
2. They give the car too much leeway to make it's own decisions without adequately communicating those decisions to the operator, especially regarding timing and maneuvers. The car can suddenly do something unexpected requiring instantaneous reaction from the driver. This actually makes the "machines react faster than humans" cause the opposite problem. Hence the unguarded left tun videos from a while back. Anyway, it totally ruins the concept of redundant control authorities. The human is out of the loop until the car actually does something, and then control authority takes too much time to switch.
