I also wonder if having one installed would tempt a pilot to fly in a regime

The same old argument has been made about every GA safety improvement, including

I guess the difference is one can pull a lever and recover from a
possibly fatal situation. The closest example you give is the seatbelt
which would keep one from falling out of an open cockpit.
