I guess you don't know about the early days of Bitcoin where it needed a hardfork because of a massive inflation bug
Or the 2018 hidden inflation bug that was secretly fixed and luckily never exploited thanks to one single good samaritan anon AKA transparency wouldn't have done anything if he decided to exploit it. Hardforking would screw over anyone who gave away real goods and services for the fake bitcoin and doing nothing would break 21 million meme. Both would be devastating to user confidence. No good solution.
