The thing even has its own caveat on the wiki description.
It's probably the biggest middle finger the RNG can give you.

Agreed. It's the only item in the surplus crate that can't be instantly used by anyone. I get surplus crates all the time and I can't think of an instance where I haven't just disposaled that thing. The barrier for even basic use by anyone is ridiculously high for anyone who isn't a well practiced scientist. Why isn't this thing just a scientist or RD-only traitor item?

yeah, there's just not enough people who're interested in the thing. no point putting it in the "for funsies" crate

Fourthed. I can't imagine most anyone bothering to use the thing if they're taking the "I don't really have much of a plan so fuck it" route of traitoring, which is sort of what the surplus crate is meant to support.

Yep.
Unfair to subject poor folks to brainfuck when they don't expect it.
