You're arguing a strawman and I pointed at a specific example. Sticking with my specific example they could probe for this behavior or this OS version and crash immediately, telling the user to update their OS. Instead it seems they acknowledge this issue exists and they hope it doesn't happen. Which hey everybody does but that's not the claim OP was making.

It’s not really a libraries job to cover all bases like you’re suggesting. They outline the failure scenarios fairly well and users are expected to take note.
