FWIW, neither of those responses have anything to do with safety,
although I suppose you could make a tenuous case for the first, given
some not-obvious assumptions about manufacturer's intent to provide and
buyer's intent to use engine braking.

For one thing, the fact that coasting doesn't allow for engine braking
is a safety issue. For the second, the fact that it is illegal makes it a
valid point.
