Agree strongly.
However the reason they used such hot water to create coffee was that using 98C water to make coffee gives you more coffee from the same amount of coffee grounds than using the recommended 90C. Shittier coffee yes, and hotter, but more of it.
The actual reason they kept the coffee at that temperature (since it usually wasn't freshly brewed the brewing temperature doesn't matter) is that hotter coffee takes longer to drink, which means fewer refills (which used to be free when this happened).
