It is disingenuous to assume that we as a society should leave this to courts full of non-technical people to determine what is and is not disingenuous in terms of end-user assumptions about the correct workings of a system, versus letting the responsibility lie simply on the operators of that system because THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEPLOYING IT.
The harm that this is causing is already great, and will increase tremendously. It's simply dangerous to say "it's obvious" because, while this case may or may not be, to have to make a determination of obviousness of the intent of the programmer/casino/bank/whatever, is something courts are famously bad at. You really don't want that state of affairs.
