Interactive shells with -n (noexec) set are pointless
The man page states:
-n Read commands but do not execute them. This may be used
to check a shell script for syntax errors. This is ig‐
nored by interactive shells.
And indeed, doing a set -n on an interactive shell is ignored.
It is however possible to run an interactive noexec bash if it is set
on launch.
It's not unreasonable to turn off that flag as part of interactive shell
initialization.
