The `org-export-babel-evaluate' is more of an external safety measure
for people who don't want *any* code block evaluation ever and IMO could
probably be removed as there is already `org-confirm-babel-evaluate'
(which could be augmented to allow an option for silently disallowing
evaluation).

I can understand your frustration, however while the above does not
default to nil, the default babel header argument do not evaluate code
on export. See C-h v `org-babel-default-header-args'
,----
| org-babel-default-header-args is a variable defined in `ob.el'.
| Its value is ((:session . "none")
| (:results . "replace")
| (:exports . "code")
| (:cache . "no")
| (:noweb . "no")
| (:hlines . "no")
| (:tangle . "no")
| (:padnewline . "yes"))
|

| Documentation:
| Default arguments to use when evaluating a source block.

By default on export the code of code blocks will be exported, unless
you have changed the defaults in some way. Also, unless you have
changed the value of `org-confirm-babel-evaluate' you should have been
prompted before any evaluation. In fact after a quick local test with
'emacs -Q' emacs-lisp code blocks do not evaluate on export, so you have
something in your configuration explicitly causing this behavior.

I very strongly disagree with this suggestion. As I see it code blocks
hold code. The use of the code is secondary to the content of the
block, and a header argument is an appropriate place to hold such usage
information. Also, it is common to switch between exporting results and
exporting code, and it would be onerous to change the code-block name.
Finally, this would complicate all of the current code block handling
code, having two separate blocks for a single semantic entity.
