Using Tor in a censored country can have numerous consequences for a user dependent the location. If (1) A person (non-activist) uses Tor in a censored country, (2) the user has no knowledge that they are using Tor. Is there really much danger for those people? I'm not sure if it would make sense to expend human resources to hunt down/punish every person that uses Tor? However, even something as innocuous as visiting the Linux Journal can draw attention in an "democratic" country.

But you could also say its to dangerous to cross the street even if 1 person get hit by a bus doing so. I understand this has previously been discussed in great length. But there has never been any consensus on this. The reason for asking is I'm documenting setup and installation of Kicksecure, a new security-focused Linux distribution by Whonix developers for my Google Season of Docs project. Kicksecure comes with tor-transport-tor installed by default.
