Hi Rod... most bumblies can read, and guidebooks always mention if a route is unprotected, so if they launch up unprotected 15's then surely it is their choice. I don't want anyone to protect me from my own stupidity! If the first ascentionist had top rope beta, so what? If the guide says unprotected horrorshow, there is nothing to stop someone from top rope or abseil inspection. The fact that most people don't do that is because they want the challenge of sorting it out with their mind on the sharp end of life! If there was no risk, climbing wouldn't be interesting to me. If that's not your bag, climb something else.
