I tend to agree that allowing local modifications of Org's syntax is pretty much

In practice, the faces, i.e., the values, are meant to be customizable,
not the keys.
It would be great to have more clear statement in the doc string. Even
in the manual it could be stressed stronger. Unsure if the current
phrase really forbids extension, I would rather tend to interpret it as
invitation to customize the list: "To narrow down the list of available
markup syntax, you can customize ~org-emphasis-alist~."
Maybe the code interpreting this variable could spit a warning on
attempt to add new emphasizing characters.
