IMO, it’s also a bit disingenuous to omit that
- Ywallet was working during all this time,
- Emergency mode is exited primarily because the spam is over. Running SbS over the spam period is impossible (out of memory, desync, and too slow).

Users will undoubtedly notice these issues themselves at some point.
