Fine.

I *do* think hardware should be designed in a way that it can not be
damaged by software, but if existing hardware has such problems, then
the driver needs to protect the hardware and restrict the user from
doing something stupid.

I can agree to that. However, I do not think we should categorically
exclude such extensions on the simple basis that "this should not be done".
