Let me start by saying that I don't know that I agree one way or another with either side of this discussion. I'm just trying to understand both sides of the discussion.

For instance, an beagle variant which leaves the open port 6777, the command disable, but changes the removal code to be destructive to the system? When people voluntarily run this scan they are trashing their system, until such time as you change the script to do something else. In the mean-time Nessus has been (not mildly, but excessively) destructive. It's not like just crashing a service, it's causing an whip-out of the machine.
