This “detectable and dangerous type of misconfiguration” is used by many developed daily and breaking it would break important workflows.

It’s like saying that an OS should enforce that home directories can only have 0600 permissions. Yes, it prevents accidentally configuring world readable on files, but there are legit reasons for wanting to share a file from your home dir.

Why is that an issue though when it is the lesser of two evils? At the very minimum, regardless of “misconfiguration” or not, not having any type of warnings to advise against this behavior is quite bad.

Misconfiguration isn’t really the best word choice, either, because it’s definitely a both-sides problem.
