I'm talking about the typical user. There shouldn't be a need for them to be doing that.

Right. I use a proper launcher for anything I execute constantly - like Gnome shell or KRunner on KDE. Scripts I usually run in the terminal to see their output. So it's really rare for me to run anything by clicking on it using Dolphin.

I mean, yeah, muscle spasm disorder or my dumb ass absent-mindedly opening files in my download folder or Jester from HR, who doesn't know that a job application shouldn't have the executable icon. For all of us, it improves accessibility, because we don't need to be as cautious anymore.

It cuts in half the average number of clicks when navigating the file manager. Accessibility or not, it's a welcome change imo.
