Cookies are required due to the statelessness of http servers. (It's one of the more popular solutions to resolve that.)

I could appreciate a lot of code and functionality/possibilities as long as it doesnt disturb people like viruses/spam/ or hacking.
That's the advantage of open source. Everyone can read it and see what it does.

Now so much unnecessary code has to be used for protection alone and there is always someone who likes to sneak in bogus code or bogus web pages.
An excellent program has at least the double (or more) size of a good program.
A good program does all the functions as required, but relies on the cooperation af all external factors, such as the system providing enough space and availability for memory or database, or the user for entering only digits when requested for a number.
An excellent program count only on itself and checks and double checks all operations, and is therefore failsafe and fool proof. So far the theory!
In practice, this turns out to be a race in evolution: while programmers continue to improve their programs to make them more fool proof, nature is inventing every day better and more dangerous fools!
"Coding to much"? I don't think so!
