No one is arguing that having this filtering as an optional behavior
can be useful. The argument, at least from my side, was that I don't
think it can, in its current too radical shape, be the default,
because it is both backward-incompatible and provides no "fire
escape".
If the implementation were to change, such that it didn't actually
remove commands from the list of completion candidate, then perhaps we
could make this the default (but even then I'm not sure).

Please cool down. One person's must-have feature is another person's
"imagined scenario" or "personal habits of abusing". User options
exist in Emacs because we try not to be too judgmental, and let each
one have their preferences.
