Selective breeding is a form of this that humans have been deliberately taking advantage of to produce desired changes in relatively (on the evolutionary scale) short timespans.

Web programming is getting unnecessarily complicated
Evolving standards are improving this situation all the time. Up until Internet Explorer 8 or so it was a real necessity to have different stylesheets for different browsers and devices, and responsive design wasn't a thing. Today there are fewer quirks and the situation will continue to improve.

Web programming is getting unnecessarily complicated
Common web development languages (Namely JS and PHP) lack any kind of static typing, making traditional OO design impractical, necessitating the use of large frameworks to make up for deficiencies of the language.

Irrelevant Conclusion
PC gaming is better than console gaming
Exclusives aren't a feature of a console itself (they don't make it better at it's job of producing graphics, sound, accepting input, etc...), they are merely a marketing tool.

Not evereyone should have the right to have children
It would be morally hazardous to try and determine what circumstances people are either permitted or denied the privilege of having offspring. Running the risk of a kind of 'cleansing' of undesirables by those making the decisions.

Entertainment piracy is the best thing that ever happened to American Culture
Stealing only causes harm if it either deprives someone directly of something (they no longer have it) or indirectly they would have had (you pirated something you'd normally buy) - but often people pirate because it's the only way to get certain content due to regional lockouts & other restrictions

All internet traffic should be encrypted
Encryption makes large files uncachable, which will have performance implications.

Programming language popularity is a major factor in deciding whether or not to use it in a project.
New languages often become suddenly popular before they're proven in the real world, only for people to switch back again.
