I know it is a simplification, but to me, the two sides of this
argument are:
* remove the hood of the car, and keep it off in case something
goes wrong, or to entice new drivers to look in there and guess
what is going on. * keep the hood of the car on, and if something
goes wrong, pop it. If the driver wants to tweak, or have a look
around let them pull the lever and pop the hood.

I was pretty much unable to do anything when my hood release froze
this winter. The only way to get under the hood and fix a problem with
starting the car was to wait for warmer weather.
Just a thought.
