I think the issue with this approach, which is one that I completely agree with, applaud, and also adhere to is that many people are not as fortunate to be in such a position to turn down employment opportunities.
Those are the people who need protection from "features" such as these, because those are the people who's employers WILL take advantage of them using features.
