Reason? Benefit? Use case?

I get the impression that more and more people here want to add yet another safety belt for every conceivable scenario—one that’s supposed to protect the user from something, but which the user has to fasten themselves. Benefit: Zero. If a security mechanism works only by introducing another protocol that must be followed manually, the benefit is negative.
