If you know it is there and when to (not) use it... ;)

Imagine when your sister borrowed your console just to find out that
when she leaned over the keyboard to adjust the screen settings, she
hard rebooted the computer and with it her precious two days worth of
work was lost.

It should probably be in an 'advanced user' section. You wouldn't want
it on the machines on campus.
