Indeed that would make them a lot less useful. A major reason for
considering this in the first place is to make the startup of services
more dynamic, so if you can't react to hardware related changes this
would be moot.

I also do not understand how this is even potentially a security
issue? Doesn't upstart broadcast events on the system D-BUS anyway?

Even if it doesn't, the hardware related changes usually originate
from uevents which everybody can read, so at least those should be
broadcast on the session upstart. The more abstract ones such as
"network-down" and the like are also not secret in any way.
