But so does "C-c C-c".  "If it hurts, don't do that."

More importantly, I think disabling the point adjustments will cause
very surprising behavior: it allows moving point many times (as many
as there are bytes in the image file) without any visible effect.
That's something we want very much to avoid, and it is the main reason
why we have this point-adjustment feature.  Disabling it is a
debugging tool, not something to show to users.
