None of this was even mentioned in the PR, it just said "we're adding this rule because yeah" and went on with it, no before and after or even a motivation behind the change

I think this is all just a bunch of theoretical correctness that doesn't translate to practicality or any actual real benefit in the real world

just in the context of messages, the files are parsed and embeds and components are turned from builders to objects when applicable
