No, it isn't fine, what you're seeing here is the push to use manufacturing infra to impose one group's will on another. Tools should be neutral.

We should empower people, not manipulate them through engineering usecases to/to not accommodate.

I feel empowered when I don't have to worry as much about how to safely operate my car, and it's just automatically safer. And when I don't have to worry as much about other drivers on public roads because their cars are automatically safer. The amount I'd be happy to pay to make that functionality configurable in order to accommodate people with different preferences, is $0.00.
