Solid points. But really it's down to educating the masses. Newbies are better of getting some experiance on a machine that is generally safer than free weights, rather than jumping straight into barbells and overloading themselves and hurting themselves because they aren't stable and haven't been progressed into it.
Even the experianced guys drop a barbell once in a while.
So either way there is a catch, but most people serious about it do some research or hire trainers thankfully.
