> notably so when there is enough scare screens as of now to discourage any too gullible peoples to do so.

Apparently the existing screens are not sufficient, and I buy that. I think the cooling down period is a good idea, because otherwise many people will just do as they're told because they don't understand what they're doing and are too trusting.

> What would we think if Microsoft decided all of a sudden to do something similar with Windows? How there is no outrage about this in that community?

Where is the outrage about nontechnical people getting misled and scammed?
