“The end result is gross Chillul Shabbos and an entire generation not knowing what the melacha of “Hotza’ah” is, at all.”
Interesting, how come we don’t tayne that very argument regarding each and every eruv in any Israeli town.
Also interesting is how every Pre war town in Europe had or tempted to erect an eruv, and as per many response’ written at that era, most held that the very existence of an Eruv ‘prevents’ chillul shabbos (see Chasasam sofer responsum 1:89) Not the other way around. (Unless the eruv is against halacha, it is the duty of the people and tge Rav to provide one..)
