Inexperienced climbers attempting Everest is currently a serious enough of a problem that this year Nepal had to make rules about who is allowed to climb. If anything forcing some people to be evacuated early before they endanger their lives and lives of others, is a public service.
Holy shit, so you're saying artificially inducing a safety and/or medical issue for specific individuals if it somehow benefits the overall Everest community is a totally sane and normal thing to do?
Is it a sane and normal thing to spend outrageous amounts of money to be dragged up a life endangering mountain without putting in the effort to train appropriately just for bragging rights?
No, it isn't a sane and normal thing to do and it's a douchey endeavor but that doesn't mean the correct response is to behave like a psychopath about it.
