If the appliance is just faulty, not dangerous,
I don't see why you should cut the plug off?

A faulty appliance is probably dangerous,

Thats bull**** if it has just stopped working.

at least inasmuch as it encourages
some dimwit to have a go fixing it

Nothing dimwitted about fixing something
someone else doesnt know how to fix or
chooses to just buy a new one.

and sticking their fingers in places fingers
shouldn't go to try and make it work.

Even sillier.

If it was faulty and fixable you wouldn't
be throwing it away would you?

Plenty dont know how to fix stuff and plenty
more choose not to fix and just replace.
