Remember that shortcodes are sometimes added for reasons other than
being placed in post content. It's when the shortcode's purpose is
to be placed in post content that it becomes problematic, causing
the lock-in effect.<br>
<br>
For example, most of my themes have some simple shortcodes for
outputting footer credit/copyright related stuff in a theme setting.
One for getting the current year is actually one of them.<br>

As with (almost) every guideline: exceptions are allowed, on
a case-by-case basis. So, it's certainly up for discussion.

I have a similar case right now, very powerful

I'm 100% agree with that, but can we

and suggest author to remove them for
