Responding only to a tiny part of the things people say while ignoring the broader context is almost always going to be utterly useless and contribute nothing of value to the conversation. You should really stop doing that.
I kind of agree, or at least feel that trying to shoehorn the durability system into working with the legendary blade that is a series staple was stupid and contrived, but it's also really not enough to be worth avoiding the entire game over it. It never actually breaks, just has to "recharge" periodically, during which there's no shortage of other weapons you can use (some of which are actually stronger anyway, since against regular enemies the Master Sword is pretty unremarkable). It's definitely dumb, but it doesn't stop the game from being fun.
There is no context that would make calling it theft accurate. It's is just flat out wrong.
