Answer
Too many setters can lead to fragile code and broken invariants.
Excessive use of setters can make it easy to put an object in an invalid state. For instance, if a `Product` class has independent setters for `price` and `discount`, setting these without coordination might lead to negative prices. It's better to have a method that adjusts both together, ensuring valid states.
