To me this is a strong argument. And further, the "strange tricks" can lead to security issues (e.g. setting -shell-escape manually and forgetting to remove it). > So, what is the problem? I think that some believe that by including code in LyX that requires -shell-escape would lead to more users using -shell-escape which could be viewed as less secure. Further, in the case of minted, shell-escape might not be required in the future.
