Unfounded? pg_file_write() is in contrib, not core precisely because some considered it to be a possible risk (despite COPY being as dangerous) and wanted to make it a non-default option. Personally I think a guc to disable it, COPY and other potentially dangerous utility functions would be preferrable but that's a whole other argument.
