Fair enough, but they need to refine the Login Items "Allow in the Background" list to give more information to enable the poor user to decide which items need to be enabled and which don't. All of the shell commands which are listed should probably be excluded from the list?
Also there is a confusion between the "Open at Login" list and the "Allow in Background" list - both seem to pretty much do the same thing but one is presumably under direct control of the user (the first) and the second is set by the process, but now the user has the theoretical ability to override what the process wants to do. But some, such as in my case Dropbox, appear in both. Giving power to the user is a Good Thing, with the mild caveat that it needs to be clear how and when to wield that power, and what effect it will have.
In all cases it seems to me that at least you should be able to click on a little "i" to see where the original file is located, like with the shell commands. An example here is that I have three entries for CleanMyMac X, and I have no way of knowing whether some of these are hangovers from previous versions, or are all of them valid?
Maybe this is a job for CleanMyMac itself to sort out!
