I agree that a person should never let any antivirus or anti-malware
program
removed everything it finds.
I have had items detected as malware by MBAM, SAS, Avira,AdwCleaner and
others and I am glad I didn't let 'them' fix everything they find.
I have a lot of friends who just let their 'protective' programs do
whatever
they want, and those same folks don't make backups, and yet, they seem to
be
doing fine. How? It is beyond me!
Can MBAM 'fix' problems and cause some programs to not function at all or
not properly, YES!!!
But, so can almost any other great anti-virus or great anti-malware
program.

Every so often in the Malwarebytes forum I see Malwarebytes cleaned
my computer and now the thing is broken.

Malwarebytes has a setting Automatically Quarantine Detected Items

I told the powers that be that it should not be checked. "It is there
for users that don't know anything"

I gave up on that idea

I agree with you on that. I make sure I have mine unchecked also, and I
check it (to make sure it is still unchecked) after every engine update.

Wait. You make sure threats aren't quarantined!???

Why?
