Safeties are supposed to prevent accidental manipulation of the fire control system.
Like...dropping a gun while loading it and having the trigger snag something? It's a legitimate question, what's with the holier-than-thou bullshite? Would you disagree that being able to load the gun with the safety on is not in fact safer?

I'm not being holier than thou. The system you describe is a choice made by that manufacturer - to lock the action in the safe position. When you load it, the manufacturer assumes you are attentive, finger off the trigger, but otherwise ready to fire.

I think that is can be a safety neutral situation if you follow other gun safety protocols.
