It's important to note that the Developers Editions (and the Nightlys) will have a setting for disabling the requirement.

The assumption being that developers need to test as they develop. And are a more informed user.

Did they say why beta wouldn't have this setting? If anything beta is closer to release and developer would target that. Developer edition is still nightly if I'm not correct?

Generally, beta is supposed to be almost completely identical to the release version, to ensure that what gets shipped to release users is tested. This particular pref seems harmless, but you never know.

Developer edition is what used to be known as "Aurora", which is in between Beta and Nightly.
