I agree with you. People should just explore the possibilities that exist to the fullest, harmless extent. There's no harm in this. Along the way, they might find something entirely new. Blocking off that path with "don't ever do this" is just closed-minded.
It's a good thing people exist that aren't deterred by gatekeeping comments like these and actually try to innovate or simply play around and have fun with programming.
