IMHO, it would be a very odd case where you'd want an application to refer to QTEMP when it normally refers to a production library. In fact, I'd wager it's a programmer trying to test code.

In that situation, the user (programmer) could easily use OVRDBF or add QTEMP to the library list on the fly.

I don't think it's a good argument for having QTEMP in the QUSRLIBL sysval or even in the JOBD.

Let's face it, folks... the only reason QTEMP needs to be in the library list (aside from adding it on-the-fly for testing code) is because of all the poorly written software out there. In this market space, poorly written software absolutely ABOUNDS -- or, at least, that's been my experience.

In general, that's probably a good idea. But what if, for example, you have
a (CL) program that does some processing on a file. The application may want
to use that program for the QTEMP version of the file, or for an Application
library version of the file.
