I do use M-x in an explorative way all the time. I was the proponent of
the M-x filter when this was discussed a few years ago.

I don't want to see a zillion of irrelevant commands when I'm fishing
for interesting things on a given context.

This is about leaving out commands which only make sense when certain
minor or major mode is active. I can't see how this would hamper
learning by exploration.
