Then why not simply hardcode some fixed modes of operation? Just as an example, a forced choice between 12, 24, 48, or a maximum of 72 hours. You can't cheat your way into convincing the SE to set an unlimited reset timer. I'm sure there must be a better reason.

Any "choice" suffers from the same user exploit you responded to. The attack surface remains.

Plus, vulnerability often follows complexity. Whether it's human written validation logic being attacked for 6 months in a lab somewhere in Israel or the overly complex UX exposed to some soccer Mom in Minneapolis.

Save money. Save headaches. K.I.S.S.
