I always used to be a bit lackluster about the idea of deploying smalltalk applications for a similar reason - too powerful introspection and debug tools that are too easy for an end user to open accidentally, and be confused by.
But now, switching between a terminal that uses shift-ctrl-c for copy, and outlook/o365 in chrome, I often accidentally open developer tools in my email "application"... And wonder how much better we might be off with a solid smalltalk (or strongtalk, self) system -- than the current mix of crappy web apps and crappy electron behemoths...
I should note that it's generally possible to strip out/hide and disable most of the introspection stuff from smalltalk applications and ship more end-user style applications.
