Let me put it this way. When I hire an electrician, I expect the boxes for the light switches and outlets to be installed at right angles to the floor; and all the screws holding on the cover plates aligned in the same direction. It’s really just a matter of workmanship. Putting up a production service for the public on a non-default port is sloppy work.
Of course, the old site was nothing but sloppy work, so if this is an actual good system with a few weird deployment issues, it’s still an improvement.
To continue the analogy, the old site could electrocute you. The new one just has outlets installed at weird angles.
