I apologize for hurting your feelings.

I suggest that if you're pitching this change to include some justifications as to why the change should be made. I'd recommend looking at these related threads for inspiration:

- [State of the Memberwise Initializer](https://forums.swift.org/t/state-of-the-memberwise-initializer/17168)
- [Synthesizing default values for the memberwise initializer](https://forums.swift.org/t/synthesizing-default-values-for-the-memberwise-initializer/17227)

Cheers
