I believe this all stated with Ruger around 30 years ago when they went "barrel warning Crazy" at the insistence of their lawyers. Companies well understand that "You can't fix stupid" and ignorant either for that matter so they go out of their way to put warnings wherever possible.
I keep remembering the idiot who shot himself in the foot with a bolt action rifle he was trying to manipulate in a truck cab and sued the manufacturer in this case Remington.
He of course violated one of the cardinal rules of safe firearms handling:
"Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction".
