Its about taking personal responsibility for the security of your
system(s).  Trusting someone else's settings of what THEY think YOUR
security should be, is very unwise.

It is not car disassembly - it is checking the oil level, the benzin
(petrol), the brake fluid, the window washer liquid, the tyre pressures
including the 'spare wheel'.  Pilots of aircraft do exactly the same. It
is called a preflight check.  Doing that on a new Centos installation is
sensible and, if one cares about security, desirable.
