That's an interesting comment. As I explain in my post Log4j vulnerability: What the FAQ happened?, the feature was there and intentional (so yes, not broken in that sense), but was never properly documented.

And regarding sanitation/sanitization, OWASP is one of the best authorities on best practices, and they specifically did not recommend sanitization for log4j 2. You're cordially invited to provide a citation for Good Practices 101 that advises otherwise.
