Why not?

:... If it can be changed - it will be changed..." came from :... If it can
be done it must be done ..."
If a change is irritable, then it should be done.
If a change is harmful, then it shall be done
A prior condition to the above; Never document a harmful change ..."

I am NOT saying this was done here
I am NOT saying this was done in purpose
I am saying it was done, is being done and will be done again.  It is
called "life".

Oh, upgrade to 20.04 for more changes complying with Simon Says.
And, Upgrade to 20.10 to see some really hair raising changes, avoidable
breakage, etc.
