People compile binaries off of the internet and sudo make install them right over /usr. Go Google for all of those blog posts. Evidence of the stupidity of the masses is not evidence that there is anything wrong with leaving advanced options behind a scary warning and letting people break things sometimes.

Things are fine. The sky is not falling.
