Simple answer is YES. Where there is a will there is a way. If a hacker
wants in, he'll get in. Its simply a matter of time and effort. Security has
always been an oxymoron for that reason. The only thing you can do is
attempt to make it annoying to bypass said security, but those dedicated to
getting passed will still eventually get passed.

Its not a design choice, its an inherited design flaw because you cannot
predict what people can and/or will do.

Then what you are saying is that they will get past any lock.
Such as account infomation with the account UUID.
After all that is just a lock and getting the key will be no problem for
some one to do using the same path of thinking.
It is just a matter of time befor some one finds the key for that lock.
and think what they may do may be some thing like start returning items to
people or turning on auto return on other people land.
may be even getting fast a firewall ?
Is this what you are telling us ?

Every thing we take the time to look at can be seen as a design choice.
