It’s a good metaphor! Makes intuitive sense. Of course the reason for some options being greyed out can be not just something benign, but also “too dangerous” (say, walking alone at night) “too hard” (say, writing a novel) or not fun (say, editing Wikipedia) and so on. But at least it’s good to explicitly examine the reasons for something to be greyed out and whether the reason still holds.
