Why they don't just enable this is bizarre.

I have wondered the same thing. Maybe they got too many warranty requests from people poking the shutter curtains with their fingers.

TYes, this makes some sense to it.

None of my EOS M models have visible shutter blades when I remove the lens, and all defaulted to not firing if no lens was detected.

I think it's more about inviting the user to think about what (s)he is doing before using a manual lens. It might stop people from complaining that the camera won't set the aperture from the body and can't autofocus or use A+, P, Tv, or the scene modes properly with such a lens.
