Hmmm unless I'm mistaken there's always a mean to hard reset, using a toothpick with reset button combined with light button (used to be the home one).
They don't mention you will break the device with no option to restore because most likely that won't happen.

Safeguards of this type are manageable, still like another user said I'm not sure I would deem it a very sensible use of developers' time.

Maybe because they're not meant to be seen, let alone be used.
