It's only really an issue for refinishing. It's the same deal in an automotive setting. Silicone can be annoying, but it's not a boogey man, you just need to be diligent in prep.

Best to avoid it if at all possible. If you are making guitars for other people, you can't assume they'll know anything about silicone or want it on their finish. For guitars that you are never passing on, then it's up to you. But certainly for production guitars, there's no need to use it at all.
But why? Apart from what I've already mentioned are there other reasons why people wouldn't want a product that contains, allegedly, "some" silicone?

Well, I like your thinking, Sonic Mountain. Especially since I naively used it on a very rare bass - what’s done is done. What I should’ve used was a guitar scratch and swirl remover.
Any idea how to get it off? Soap, vinegar, lighter fluid? It’s slippery and I can feel it on there.
