I really don’t understand the animosity against tools that help improve the enjoyment for all players involved.
If you, as a player, don’t want to use them, then don’t.

And exactly how do you know that none of your players need safety tools?
Nobody is asking you to carry a spare tire while hiking, but you do admit that bringing one extra bottle of water is a good idea while hiking, right?
