While I understand that CLI setup is requires, enabling an API be default to be on is bad practice. Setting the switch by default to "off" would be the prefeed option I think. It prevents inadvertently setting up CLI credentials without knowing what one is doing, and having a switch defaulted to "off" gives an added level of comfort. Experts who are setting up CLI will know that the switch needs to be toggled to "on". Thanks for giving this suggestion some consideration.
