It makes life harder for people with celiac.

Why? Because people following a gluten-free diet by choice are inconsistent. They'll make a big deal of asking for gluten-free pasta, then order a fruit tart for dessert. Or they'll order a hamburger without the bun, and a beer.

It trains wait staff that gluten-free is not a big deal to get exactly right, when in fact a person with celiac does need to get it exactly right.
