This is why we can't have nice things.
No, this is why systems that aren’t rigorously designed to preclude exploitation like this simply shouldn’t be released. If flaws like this exist in the system, they will be exploited. It’s not on the users if they exploited a flaw, even if you say “please don’t exploit the flaw”.
There's a continuum between this kind of thing and, say, ransomware attacks. I'm not sure where the line should be drawn.
Microsoft Rewards isn't a "nice thing".
