The goal here is protection against deletion of in-use images, not a workaround that can be executed by an admin. For instance, someone without admin still can't do that, and someone with a fat finger can still delete images in use.
"Don't lose your data" is a fine workaround for taking backups, but most of us take backups anyway. Same deal.
