Delete Protection on by default is annoying

Does anyone else find it annoying that Workforce for ArcGIS creates a bunch of items in AGOL with Delete Protection turned on?  I am just starting to explore this solution so I set up a test project, but then I got other work priorities and so I went to delete these items to clean up my AGOL space.  However I see that it created no less than six items, all of which had Delete Protection turned on, and so I had to go in one at a time, toggle it off, save it, then Delete.  I don't think AGOL should automatically turn this on for anything unless the user is first prompted.

No, because it keeps "newbs" from destroying others good work.

If you open the Workforce Web Application and delete the project, it will clean up all of the layers and maps for you so you don't have to do it one-by-one on the  AGOL Content page.
