I find these buttons very useful. My machine double boots. Sometimes I
make a mistake  and allow the machine to boot to the wrong OS. Using
these buttons I can correct the situation. Other times I boot my machine
and I realize before I login that I really wanted to shutdown the
machine.

But I confused by your question. How does this extra functionality hurt
you or anyone else?
