Comment (by benniledl):

 In my opinion, it would make sense to remove it per default, and to make
 this setting accessible only through code or a plugin.
 This way, only users who genuinely know what they are doing can enable
 this setting.
 I believe that someone switching from an default admin role to another
 role and then back to admin may not fully understand what they are doing
 and the potential risks associated with this setting.
