The settings conceits shift at a whim, and have done so for 80+ years. They exist, then don’t. They all warp and change however is needed by whoever is needed.

At one point, a dude punches reality. Literally hits reality with his fists.

Its fine to argue about any art form, but I think the most pertinent critique of comics is that it’s art for capital. Any story element or setting is for sale in our world. Taking the inner world at any face value while ignoring that is pointless.

The writers pen.

A batman comic book does not have realistic economic systems. Its all hand-wavy bullshit in-service of Batman flying around doing whatever.

Yes, but it’s also an actual curse because of comic books.

Yup. It’s fucking stupid, but it’s there to stop people asking about it.

Fixing Gotham is basically a macguffin that the editors want you to ignore to just enjoy the setting as is.

Dude, it’s comic books. People fly around in their underpants and shoot lasers from their eyes. The conceit of Batman is that yes, he’s nuts, but the Wayne’s have always been intense philanthropists. Like, actually “good” billionaires, also very comic books and just as likely in our world as laser eyed underpants flying people.

The current conceit is that it doesn’t matter what you do in Gotham, underwear or hundreds of billions in goodwill. It will consume you and any who exist in its domain.

Waynetech does huge amounts of charity work, it’s just not very interesting in a comic book.

Gotham also has a literal curse that makes it perpetually dysfunctional. Its cop out comic book bullshit, but Gotham literally cannot be fixed.

Isnt this the same company that got called out for how wrong and out of date its public project plan was, who then committed to a project improving the public project plan, which was then also incorrectly tracked and posted on its public project plan?

They planned to improve the plan, but then didn’t plan it.

Someone asking a question doesnt merit the insult of saying they “would never ask if they used a terminal.” I have no particular dog in this fight, but not being a dick isn’t that hard.

As to using this standard, just because this is your preferred standard, doesnt mean its the only standard.

It may actually be the best now, but so were the 14 others that came before it. Your stated reasons are the same reasons as everyone agreeing to use any other standard. Consistency, predictability, automation,ease of backup/restore, etc.

What sets this standard apart from all the rest? Based on their own description, they aren’t even an official standard, just one in “very active” use.

So why this, specifically? Just because its what you’re already doing?
