We don't care if this problem is "hidden under the rug". We didn't even consider it to be a problem. One line added to the gitignore and no future hires will have the ability to do this. Why is adding lines to a gitignore a problem? We've looked at it maybe a handful of times since it was initialised

You'll think about this discussion the next time it happens again on a nez git repo you've just created.

Why is adding a .gitignore line a problem you ask, but then someone could ask why is committing those .DS_store files a problem in the first place… In both cases the problem is that you are adding garbage unrelated to the project.
