Why does Packet loss force you to crash?

Why can’t Gaijin make the plane keep flying straight under instructor controls when Packet Loss starts? How hard is it to code that?
Because not only does packet loss make you crash and give you a repair bill, IT ALSO F$#&%!¿ GIVES A CREW LOCK. WHY?!
its not even the ailerons or rudder being stuck in a position, you can be flying perfectly straight, on the most stable aircraft in the game, packet loss hits and now your planes has done a 180 degree roll, inverted itself and pointed it’s nose down.

Is there a justification for this from Gaijin?

From what I’ve heard, it’s related to your last input. So if your last input is pitch+, you continue doing that until the server receives a new input or a stop command.

Hmmm from what I heard it was an anti-cheating measure, some people would exploit this or something, so whenever extreme (or any) packet loss is detected you magnetize to the ground I guess
