This feels to me like they used too many abstraction layers to know what the exact error is in the place where the error message is shown.

If you want intentionally misrender the page, that's your right. But it's not their job to debug your setup.

It's also not their job to know what I'm using to view their website. If my browser misrenders the page, that's on me. There are zero reasons to put such checks in place and lock people out for sending a "wrong" user-agent string.
