If you have sharp pointy things that can poke/scratch hands, they ought to be dealt with. It's an inspection checklist item and I'm surprised Jon and Al didn't already make mention of this!

Your electrical team has sensitive hands also, as do your inspectors.

That being said, it still adds convenience for reasons previously covered, and prevents programmers from disrupting things when reaching into the bot, even if those things are now non-pointy.
