Just because consequence are unintended does not mean they are unimaginable. I have two examples in my comment, after all.

The proposed is a UI design change that has no impact on the core functionality of upvotes/downvotes. Can you think of any stakeholder with enough to 'bully the have nots' that doesn't know enough about Steem to deliver downvotes through some other channel than Steemit UI?
I've had witnesses tell me that it is no longer possible to use the blockchain to convert SBD to Steem. Out of sight, out of mind. So, to answer your question, yes, I can think of a few that don't think past the UI.

I hope that any witness that told you conversions are no longer possible immediately lost your witness vote.
If somebody doesn't remember the difference between condenser and protocol, they should not be witnesses.

@josephsavage btw, I believe SBI will do great things for Steem. I'm leasing thousands of SP to it and using the profits to buy shares for undervalued content creators. I'm doing this because I believe the power of the upvote is stronger than the power of the flag.

Thanks for your support! I saw you withdraw the direct delegation a couple of weeks ago and messaged on Discord. I figured it was because your pending balance got high and I was going to point out that you could lease through dlease.io instead. I guess you figured that out already. (I don't track who the delegators are through dlease.io very closely because they do that pretty well and have been super responsive when I've had issues.)
I actually wanted to use my SP to directly reward people. However, this would only reward me in SP for curation and prevent me from using rewards to buy shares. Also, I don't have the time to find enough posts to reward. Also, SBI allows me to reward the consistently good contact creators, who I believe are the most important.

That being said, I do appreciate the real possibility of most power users doing it anyway

I think the analogy would be, say a restaurant hires a busboy to clean. But he starts cleaning tables when people are still eating. This is an improper use of "cleaning." So the restaurant says, "we don't like the way people are cleaning, so lets get rid of all of the cleaning supplies." Problem solved?
I think the more appropriate analogy is the restaurant wants to clean off the tables by letting anyone take anything off any table. People put a lot of work into cooking a dish and someone throws it out before it is eaten. Why bother putting effort into cooking in a restaurant like that?

Doesn't matter what the analogy is because you said:
Which, to me, means no cleaning because people might clean wrong.
Fine, let's use your analogy where everyone feel entitled to "clean" everyone else's table, which I agree is a terrible situation. So the restaurant says, "we don't like the way people are cleaning, so lets get rid of all of the cleaning supplies." Problem solved?
I don't think changing the analogy makes your solution of eliminating the functionality at all suddenly work.
Perhaps there is more than one way to clean a table.

Warning. Contradiction detected: "I don't like the functionality at all; perhaps there's more than one way to do the thing we should't do at all."
Now you are just arguing in bad faith. There may be more than one way to control abuse. But if you are just trying to "win" the discussion then I concede. Congratulations on your victory!
