I'm not putting words in your mouth. I asked you a question. This little symbol is called a question mark: ?
But since you're being so defensive about it I suspect I wasn't very far off.

You on the other hand have put very many words in vary many other peoples mouths to try and justify why plugins should be kept banned, by using arguments nobody ever made as reasons why the criticism is invalid.

A feature is something directly integrated into the game. That is not what anyone is asking for. Plus that's what makes them third party in the first place, if they were a feature it would be first party like the immersive sound experience ADDON that Square added. Bethesda is a good example of this, they directly integrated modding into their game and provided mod support, that makes it a feature that they are partially responsible for. Allowing people to just use mods without explicitly incorporating them into the game experience doesn't make it a feature or make Square Enix responsible for their use in any way.

Please understand that these arguments are not being made exclusively by people who want to be able to trash talk whoever they like, or cheat. They're also being made by players who just want to play the game with tools that improve their experience with no impact on other people, and you're essentially arguing for taking that improved experience away from them, for a reason I don't think you even truly know yourself.
