It seems you underrate validations.
It's a fundamental requirement for programs to work correctly.

Fundamental requirement: Programs can only work correctly with valid inputs.

There are countless reason why one should validate ALL inputs other than

Almost nobody does this now, even if it is "fundamental" requirement.

How you would solve this?
