Correct this is a big machloqes RT and Rambam

A lot of Sephardic hardliners think RT manufactured bracha levatala based
upon leveraging this "bracha on a minhag" to allow bracha on Hallel of
Rosh Hodesh etc.

Both Chabad and AhS make compromises by having ONLY ShatZ say that
brachah.

And aiui RT would learn that YT Sheini in the early days was really a
Minhag of sorts, not a true s'feqi d'oraisso necessity.
