Reid sent me these photos of his steel cross bike.
This just doesn't seem right, but I did indeed have to pay to have the downtube replaced.
How bizarre is that?

That's the wrong way to do a DT gusset, and a good example why!
The gusset wasn't the cause of the problem; the frontal impact was.
If that was a pure tube failure i.e., materials or construction, you would only see a crack in the paint on the underside of the downtube.
Instead, you see cracked paint on the top side of the downtube, which indicates a tube flex from a severe frontal impact.
In this case I can fully agree with having the owner pay for the repair.

Aluminum tends to be affable to dirt, insects, mildew, mold, spider webs, etc. https://metalprofy.com/aluminum/best-aluminum-wallets/ Also due to the fact that aluminum retains both heat and also cold; if the paint is applied in temperatures that are not within the parameters of their product then the chances of the paint peeling will substantially increase.
