I’ve read some very user hostile things in my career, but this one is particularly acerbic. It’s a bad look.

If I ever grew to hate users this much, I would find a new career. You should consider that.

I'm not being user hostile. I'm being cognizant that the skill levels of users is extremely wide, and to best serve everyone from a UX standpoint, it's best to limit the characters accepted in the input. It protects the user, helps them avoid mistakes.

From reading your comments, you're extremely user hostile and I hope to not come across anything you work on because they are the very definition of antipatterns

It's a decimal number field. There's no reason to have any other characters than [0-9\.-]* You're overreacting. You're attacking me for no reason.
