So much this. I think the issue is that the fix was packed up as the solution for broken test-taking software (or misuse of Google Forms for that intention), and people everywhere are complaining that it's not a valid reason, with which I agree. However, there are legit environments where people might want to prevent users from accessing devtools and view-source functionality, like when using it as a kiosk software. From security standpoint, it might be also reasonable to disable at least devtools in enterprise environments, since users can not necessarily be trusted with such access (which is the reason why many sites, such as Facebook, display warning to not enter anything in the console, especially if someone instructed them or they found it online).
