Could anybody explain it, why GNOME folks decided to hide the
Shutdown
and especially Restart buttons/options from a user so well? Is it
especially dangerous to use them nowadays? Or GNOME folks assume people
do not shutdown/restart their computers anymore?

To fix this in F15, install the gnome-shell-extensions-alternative-status-menu
package. After you log out and back in, or reboot (not sure which), you'll have
the "Power Off..." option in the User Menu without using the Alt key.
