The worst optimized game just got even worse

POE has always been the worst optimized game, constantly crashing and having problems running on computers much demanding games have no problems in running on. That aside, it was still possible to deal with how badly optimized this game is by simply returning back to maps after the crash. But not anymore (at least not in the new league). Why do maps reset after the crash? At the loot is lost, all the progress is lost, and on a game which crashes every 5 minutes? Why?

Who made the decision to reset the progress on any map after the game crashes? That was an absolutely horrid decision, especially for this game.
