It's pretty easy for a reasonable person to determine when to call 911 and when to ask an LLM. Typically when I ask an LLM, it is for something I am not willing to escalate further at the moment.

Anthropic has a significant interest in reducing liability, which in this case means mostly blocking this use case.

Unfortunately, it's fairly tough for someone to determine if they are themselves a reasonable person.

A model that only ever says yes is a cognitohazard, IMO. Like being a billionaire without the money to insulate you from the consequences.
