Show me a third grader who understands the technical underpinnings of GDAL and WMS sufficiently to implement this without documentation and I’ll concede the point. Technical proficiency isn’t just knowing how to use a shovel, its knowing where the bones are buried, and if you are long enough in the tooth like some of us are, knowing how to bury them. Its knowing what will change and how if I use 3857 versus 4326 in the above context (do YOU know what that would do?); what difference getting these results as png, or jpg, or tif would represent. If you have a third grader handy that can address any of the above, DM me because I’ll hire them right now.
The morality of these tools are independent from their utility. When you mix the two judgments you muddle them both beyond the point of legibility.
