I see your point as well, mainly because if it were me personally I would probably turn off all resteems (even though I said they have been useful sometimes) :D. I don't know. This is a particularly contentious point among people that are proponents of resteems though, and I'm not sure what the consensus of the Steemit site code owners is. If I remember correctly though, they weren't willing to do it for feeds. I'd have to doublecheck though. This is always something that can be raised and debated though in their issue trackers.
