I think people have been burned too many times by their 'authorities who know better', and fortunately at least now have a sense of where the slippery slopes are (if not exactly how best to navigate them).
I'd pick erring on the side of caution over sliding down one of those cliffs any day. If you think it's such an impairment to progress, feel free to live in a non-paranoid place; but if "it's only paranoia when someone's not trying to break it for their own gain", as far as I'm concerned it's rarely-to-never going to be 'just paranoia'.
(With that said, this particular post isn't too scary, and just reduces to the "control your hardware" problem. That, and 'control your networks' are the big ones for now.)
