I don't think this is a question of degrading expert blender usability. It's a question of protecting a broader less expert userbase from malicious blend files. I think your previous post is an excellent case for not SILENTLY disabling scripts by default. [1] However, this is not the only option. For nearly a decade MS-Word has been using a challenge dialog before running scripts. Is there ideological opposition to default to showing a dialog before processing python scripts in a blend file? The decision at the time was that no, we do not.
