If you are upset, you may be taking the instant transfer feature that was previously touted a bit too literally. Bitcoin transaction data goes across the network nearly instantly but that is more like an email than a system where transactions are increasingly set in stone over time. Within a year, I expect Lightning to be able to handle your use case better than Bitcoin even before blocks started to get full.

To the sabotage point, everyone is free to develop the Bitcoin software and Bitcoin's diverse set of users are able to choose which implementation they run. In this case, there is no sabotage unless the vast majority of users can be convinced to choose software that works against the "right" way.
