Requiring users to have non-trivial general computer skills before disabling security features seems completely fine to me.

The blocking UI shown to n the documentation of the feature has a “learn more” link which presumably leads to to exact the same documentation that I quoted.

“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.” "
