No, it's like saying swapping out the fuel delivery system and ecu fuel mapping with a custom tunable system and Map is one of the most dangerous things you can do to your car; which it is if not done by a professional or someone with significant experience/understanding.

No, it's like saying having admin permissions is one of the most dangerous things you can do on your home computer. Only an idiot would think that.

Really? How much damage to end users deal with when they HAVE admin access vs restricted user accts? When I was in IT, most of my time was wasted cleaning up messes that couldn't have happened in the first place on a acct where the users couldn't do what they did.

Youre speaking as somebody's thats probably competent with your devices, big surprise, most people aren't!

Most people click random links that would be obvious to a techy person as a trap, install software without checking what it'll do, blindly giving permissions to anything their shady apps ask for. Then follow random shit on the internet and make things far worse.

That's going to be a thing of the past. The future for corporate users is a locked down monitored system with least privilege access in the name of security. Zero Trust they call it.
