Why make the backdoor obvious by incorporating an easter egg when you could just make one that does not draw attention to itself? You can still make non-obvious backdoors with this policy in place.

An Easter egg containing a funny animation can be used to distract from the malformed image that serves as a back door that exploits a bug in the image renderer.

This guy f̶hacks.
