$\begingroup$ +1. Accessing private symbols is often very handy for debugging (to me at least). Generally, I find the namespace / package system in Mathematica very well designed (to the point that I don't recall any flaws off the top of my head, for all the time I was using it), and also very hackable, since one can do a lot of non-standard tricks which allow for very flexible manipulations with namespaces. A more closed namespace model would rule out such uses, making encapsulation mechanism significantly less powerful. $\endgroup$
