If reality was a place we live in there at least the designers of functional models should be able to decide if third-party profiles are added.

If a designer create a precise model and someone comes along and changes it, it may well stop working.

In some cases, it can even be designed so that the user must scale it in a specific direction to achieve the right fit.
