It's not about creating a special group of people that hold "the knowledge". It's about making sure that someone that has never had a Maemo device doesn't immediately try something that can harm his device until he at least understands what's going on and the risks he's signing up for. Again, all the info is already shared anyways, so it's not like there's anything actually hidden here, just massively discouraged.
