Yes, agreed: That really is a good reason and the crucial point. 

I have to admit that the possibility to disable extension installation
simply had vanished from my radar. Shame on me, but this can happen.
You never had that situation?

Peter, please stay respectful and polite even if you think it's been
silly question. It wasn't for me. And if you give the answer I'm
eagerly willing to take it as that's the reason why I'm asking.

Still and as always - have a nice day!
