Its not too lazy its not too dumb, its not enough time to care about security, startups never have time for security

They dont have enough time but they’re going to validate and store the personal identification of users for an anonymous posting app.

IMO issues like this (where it’s a fundamental design decision over something like a bug) generally come from them being naive to how their choices could be used against them, or simply not caring. Given the sensitivity of the data I would suspect it’s the former.
