    Endpoints like /shutdown can stop the app, so they are disabled by default to avoid accidental or unauthorized use.

  2. Step 2: Eliminate other reasons

    They are not deprecated, do not affect startup time significantly, and do not require extra dependencies by default.

  3. Final Answer:

    To prevent accidental or unauthorized application shutdowns -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Security reasons disable sensitive endpoints by default [OK]
Quick Trick: Sensitive endpoints disabled by default for safety [OK]
