Polio was absolutely terrible for those who had it. I wouldn’t blame him for having it. Or for ending it. However, for other reasons, I agree with you.

I did not mean to blame him for having polio.

I just meant to say that his solution to his mobility problems came with significant tech debt that came to hang him later.

It was not a tech debt issue. He used it to commit suicide.

Interestingly most cases are asymptomatic or extremely low acute consequence and the problems only emerge years later. There is nothing to be learned from this and we should not give it any more thought.
