[2020] Why do attackers get "extra time"

Originally posted by Lv01 Magikarp: It seems silly that only the attackers get extra time to plant the defuser yet defenders don't get the same extra time to destroy the defuser, if the time is out as i'm sure you all know it extends so long as you start planting, this should either be removed or defenders should get extra time to destroy the defuser.

The only argument I can see is a flaky one saying that the defuser finishes defusing before you stop it, but you can say the exact same about the bombs, if they're set to go off at X time then starting to plant a defuser isn't going to magically stop them, if anything it shouldn't stop them until the defuse is done.

Hmm, this could be an interesting conversation. Do you feel if the Attackers don't get the defuser in place before the round timer hits zero that they should lose?
