I think the point is in a world with internet-connected infrastructure, such a prompt has a decent likelihood of causing damage.

And the sad thing is, most things that are on the internet, but really shouldn't be are there for some really banal and sad reason. Like a random startup pushing 'big data is the future' narrative a decade-ish ago (the benefits of which are of course tremendous, but unspecified), or people trying to buy or sell or resell data, and trick or pressing companies and people into opting into could-connected surveillance and control.
