If you give people tools to enforce their own policies, you have an adaptable system.

If you create a set of policies that users can choose from, you have limited your usefulness to just those cases that fit in those policies that you have implemented.

If you choose a single policy for everyone, only people who are willing to use that policy will use your system.

These patterns repeat across operating systems, services and applications.
