Following that same reasoning, we shouldn't have jit-lock.
And post-command-hook.  And mouse-autoselect-window.  And timers.  Etc...
These all make debugging at times difficult.

Yes, these things should be used with care, but that doesn't mean we
shouldn't provide them, because they can be very useful.
