Why doesn't Joomla 1.6 ACL matter for small business?

Many Joomla fans are very excited about the upcoming Joomla 1.6 Access Control List feature.

However, I predict that only a limited number of small business users will utilize the feature because: 

• The feature is not of high value. Most small business websites barely keep their Joomla content updated and I don't see most of them getting to utilize it in one of their projects. 
• More things to go wrong. As you add complexity to any site, thee are more things that can go wrong increasing the cost of your Joomla maintenance. 
• More expensive to implement. While changing access control options is much easier in Joomla 1.6 than using a 3rd party extension, it will still require additional Joomla support time to implement and test the Joomla ACL.
