You do if those scripts can affect the system and need to run as root. Powershell is incredibly powerful (and dangerous) and some security isn't the worst thing.

the irony of this is that if ms were to leave powershell open to run any scripts from anywhere at any time, they'd be ridiculed for lax security policies.

why? .cmd and .bat can run any time, and can do just as much damage as powershell.

It's no more powerful and dangerous than bash in the right hands.
