I wouldn't have put all that crap in there in the first place, and I
definitely would strip it out. It's just something more which has to
be processed and maintained.

And I don't bully my clients. But I do make recommendations when they
need to change hosts, and tell them why. That's what they pay me for.

I care about my clients.

But then I also understand what I'm doing before creating "hundreds of
occurrences" of something. They pay me to write good code.
