The author says these features start simple but balloon into complex, Google Drive- or Gmail-like systems requiring ongoing maintenance and security work. The piece frames refusing to build such features as one of the most important product decisions a team can make.

An entrepreneur in a heavily regulated industry describes ending a working relationship with a co-manufacturer whose product quality was fine but whose process records were inconsistent depending on who compiled them.
