It violates Kerckhoffs’s principle¹
Appeal to authority?
In the real world, it doesn't matter. Anything that makes the attacker's life harder is fair game. Stupid dogmatic sheep-like mindlessness only leads to "herd exploitability".
also complicates access
That's the whole point.

Otherwise, people will avoid them and work around them using more insecure methods. Anything that can be configured to be transparent, like IPsec, is therefore inherently better than something like this (fwknop), where you have to run special commands from your .ssh/config, and which also only works for SSH.
