Well it doesn't need to be. Topics drift. However, I would ask whether
RHS would compare Ashkenazi matzah styles to fashion rather than minhag
if he could not prove there was a time when Ashkenazim too used soft
matzos.

You were using his idea as an example of minhag requiring a halachic
foundation, that the risk gebrochts avoids be a real one. I don't
see that. (It would also do wonders to qitniyos if that question were
admissible.)

Tir'u baTov!
