It's not a black and white issue easily swept under the rug by an elitist platitude about what the cowering masses deserve. There's a lot of installation cases (older hardware -> newest systems) where System Integrity Protection will be partially lowered by default[1], and most installations will need to keep it that way.
That needn't be a show stopper, but before somebody starts patching with OCLP, some deliberation about their threat model and their macOS security expectations would be healthy. Specially for hand-me-down hardware that ends up in less tech-savvy hands.
