Would it not be safer if the access to the console on the machine itself is blocked so nobody with insufficient privileges can reboot or restore factory defaults?

Someone with physical access to the Firewall can unplug it, so basically the reboot is the same.
About factory defaults maybe yes, but a decent IT Site should be enforced enough to avoid some people accesing the SITE, plug-in a monitor and a keyboard and execute the factory defaults.
