One of benefits of Unix is that it is transparent (sometimes translucent). Everything is exposed for use.

Saving the user from themselves is not the highest priority as it may be in other environments.

The OpenBSD community is small & mostly comprised by professionals & developers. The OpenBSD culture does not include lots of help for those totally new to Unix. While this site may bridge some of the gap, the number of regulars at this site is even smaller than the community at large. While we welcome questions from those at all levels of experience, recognize that a volunteer site has limits. This thread helps frame how questions can most effectively get the answers desired.

Nevertheless, the information presented in Section 5.1 of the official FAQ should be factored when answering the original question.
