The release of the Resident Evil 4 Remake demo ignited debate over whether it's too obvious, if not a copout, to use yellow paint to highlight breakable or interactable objects in a game, as Capcom has done for RE4's return. Some players rather dramatically argued that this plague upon modern gaming needs to end, and some devs joined in to say this kind of signposting is good, actually.
With the game properly out now, modders have taken it upon themselves to right this perceived wrong and remove the yellow paint entirely. Exhibit A: the No Yellow Paint mod by BonusJZ. But these immersion-hungry gamers know not what they ask. The yellow paint might be dumb, but it's essential, because games and humans are also dumb.
