What is unsafe about 32” -10 bat?

A kid can swing a drop 10 faster than a drop 3, it delays the reaction of the fielder and short term I do think the ball goes faster. Long ball I think is BBCOR all day long, but infield...especially on one of those fake bunts , allow everyone to come in, and then swing for the fences at bats...*shudder*, that causes more trouble for infielders.
