I'm talking out of my behind here, but I was always under the impression some stuff we use casually is built with the assumption it's not under heavy attack, too. Eg: I thought consumer grade videocards were pretty darn insecure. I don't know where I picked that idea, but if that's true, then the idea of having the option to run "insecurely" for certain things make sense. Not sure if we can trust an average user with this, but if the videocard thing is true, we do.
