a gun can be fired. Because everyone loves car analogies: The safety
mechanism that keeps your car from moving isn't the tank which can be
empty or the ignition which can be switched off, or the accelerator
which you can decide not to push down, but the brakes. Mind that I'm not
arguing against an additional safety if it can be switched off, but I
wouldn't miss it either.
We are not taking about the security needed to move the car, we are taking about the additional security needed
to remove the engine. 99% of the time you don't want to remove the engine, even if you have the keys of the car.
Seriously, yum already implements this and it's better to have this additional protection than don't have it.
