Preventing people from using their preferred tools — tools which are extremely widely used in the real world — does not seem like a useful application of time and effort.

This is for students, not professionals; youngster's ideas of "preferred tools" very easily take a backseat to university requirements.
Usefulness depends on conditions of which we don't know a lot here. Sure, there are situations when counteracting pressure is more expensive than expanding capacity. But frankly I doubt this particular case is one of those.
