Indeed. Nage has a responsibility to not damage their partner, but I think uke also has a responsibility to not be stupid.
While it's probably true that a wrist-focused pain-compliance nikkyo wouldn't stop a determined attacker, it's also true that I only have two wrists. Keeping them both intact is more important to me than proving that my partner's technique is incorrect.
