Look at it from the commercial side, if we allowed you to crash your computer by allowing you to poke a hole in the memory space of the background scheduler (hypervisor), then everyone would complain that our software was flaky. Even if we say don't do it as it will cause problems, then you get malware writers that target those attributes just to cause havoc, again we look bad.
The 500 to 1 statement should actually be amended, for every 1 that knows what he is doing there are 500 who think they know what they are doing.
You can always write your own x86 hypervisor, god knows everyone including Microsoft and the Linux community think they can.
