Yes, I think most people misinterpret Silica's intention about his release "evil cartridge" which formats memory card.
The initial purpose was to prove that a malicious patch could be written on the "grw0" partition of some cartridges because Sony allowed the format command access in their LiveArea XML configuration files.
This also proves that if you buy a second hand PS Vita cartridge, you can have a very bad surprise!
Well it was capable of more than that if I remember correctly, but the biggest problem was that the vpk that people were all up in arms about was a modified "evil cartridge" vpk (again if I remember right) that automatically ran the memory card wiping utility. Not really Silica's fault there as he was just the guy that made a utility that someone else turned into a mc death vpk. Along that same line of thinking then by extension all of HENkaku is also an enabler.
Also just for the sake of playing devil's advocate and putting this out here... Are we sure it was THE Silica and Pina? This is the internet after all and to my knowledge none of the parties directly involved in this have made any statements about it...
