I don’t think it’s fine. Expose the option, then warn me of the consequences, and allow me to decide. Warn me several times if you want, but allow me to disable it.
It’s quite rare to run into a Gatekeeper warning. Most users probably won’t ever see one. And if they do, they can still bypass it for an individual app using the UI. It’s just a bit convoluted (by design).
I administer a bunch of Macs for a university and I actually block the ability to disable or bypass Gatekeeper and nobody has ever complained about it.
You can disable Gatekeeper entirely using the terminal. They just don’t expose the option in the UI anymore (which I think is fine).

They do exactly that. You just use a keyboard instead of a mouse to accomplish the task.
