If you’ve ever had to remove private information from history before making the repos public (think domains, names, configuration, etc) you will appreciate the ability to rewrite history (and all the other things --force gives you)

I don't get your point. Nobody is saying don't use `--force`. Just that the default `--force` flag is the most dangerous variant.

I am not aware of any default use of force. Where does that happen?
