The problem is that in principle GS can read and write files. It is
therefore possible to create a malicious EPS file that will damage the
contents of your disk. Option -dSAFER disables I/O. If you remove this
option as default, you open a potentian security hole. Users should
know what they are doing before such a change an they should know
whether the files are safe enough..
