Hard coding things like that is ultimately bad.  Quake creativity could
have gone even farther if there hadn't been certain things hard coded
(like a good deal of the status bar management).

Anyways, the option is available to mod authors, and Quake 2 is even
more editable.

It's not such a biggie, after all first person games are meant to be a
game where you play a given character, not a custom tailored character.
If you custom tailor your character you may as well make him invincible.
Just because its a right handed player doesn't put down lefties.
