There's more nuance there:

> I didn’t realize at the moment there’s an inconsistency in the naming of this special repo containing profile READMEs and that it differs for users and organizations: name/name vs. name/.github.

It's not unreasonable for the author to have taken the action they did given what they were trying to do. The inconsistent UX for User vs Organization READMEs is a major factor in how the error happened.

And given the number of single-repo orgs where the org's main product repo name == the org's name, well, it's not as surprising I'd say.
