Proper usage of string escaping is the user's responsibility. Unfortunately a lot of shell scripts get this wrong, leading to more or less catastrophic results. The same reasoning, by the way, applies to file names, and eg. the Nautilus file manager happily allows me to use foo;reboot as name when creating or renaming files...
