The point you are missing here is that this is a micro. (And probably
a single user one at that!).

In this situation, you FREQUENTLY have a naive user who can become the
superuser.  What was being suggested/requested was a change to protect
these naive superusers from themselves.

We have similar problems with naive superusers, and a fair amount
of support is simply fixing up the things that naive (and not so
naive) superusers have done to their systems.
