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.
