u are correct nothing stops this,hopefully you can see that just trusting that the jwt is valid is an error, basic idea is if you get a jwt that does not verify on the server then this is a red flag that you are under attack and you then implement defensive code, which is better than just hoping everything is ok, as to spoofing the response need correct headers
