Exactly this. Like if you're in the 95th percentile on tech literacy it makes no sense. Congrats. Here's a medal. If you're in the 30th percentile and you turn everything off because you're paranoid about stuff you don't understand being turned on but you don't realize you're about to disconnect your mouse it may at least give pause.

Yes that’s definitely why this has been added. It’s kind of discourteous though to people who don’t fall into that category. Why not offer an I know what I’m doing switch that needs to be activated with a series of CLI commands with big warnings.

you're using applianceOS, power users are not the target market, people with too much money are

I’m a power user, but I also like not worrying about whether my WiFi will work today. And I don’t like dealing with whatever WSL thinks about file permissions in this version.

There doesn’t exist anything else at the developer-friendliness / price / build quality point Apple’s machines exist at.

It's just bad design. Rather than a confirmation/warning/nag Apple could've altered the existing UI to make it clear what devices would be disabled. Show a connected device count next to the on/off switch with little mouse/keyboard/etc icons. The interface should be clear, discoverable, and consistent. It shouldn't throw unanticipated popup windows and warnings at the user.
