Isn't half the point of running Linux that you can shoot yourself in the foot if you want to?
Sure you can delete your Grub or whatever, but generally I don't think it ever was the goal of Linux to give the user the ability to destroy hardware instead of just having to reinstall.
You may not remember the early days, but a lot of distros used to let you set the hsync (not just vsync) values on your CRT and you could very much blow up your monitor with bad values. The documentation even had a big warning in it.
