Yes, but org-latex-classes is a custom option. If user accidentally
deletes the \newenvironment command, things will not compile.

We generally prefer to keep things that we expect to remain constant out
of customizations.

Thanks!

I am not a big fan of introducing a new BEAMER_FRAME option.
We already have BEAMER_ENV.

However, BEAMER_ENV is somewhat tricky for frame headings - ox-beamer
allows special values of frame and fullframe (the latter is not fully
documented) to allow frames nesting different from
`org-beamer-frame-level'.

What about not adding BEAMER_FRAME, but instead adding org-lint checker
that will detect when frame text contains the problematic \end{orgframe}?
