By purpose. A user with no knowledge will read --disable-no-exceptions as 
something that is "bad" and won't touch it. However, when there is a switch 
named "--enable-exceptions", some people might turn it on without knowing 
its implications because they think "hey, I'm a power user. I want 
everything enabled!".
