Since around 2007 that those pesky macros only run if the user takes the same effort as typing curl | sh.
"Do you want your document to work yes/no?" is a lot more likely to trick people than asking them to input a console command.
The actual message asks if the user wants to enable macros, while stating it is dangerous to enable them for unknown documents.

Not seen Word in a while I guess.
