Exactly!  It’s like when I have my kids in the shop:  “OK boys, don’t do this...”

3sum,  the parts diagram shows a complete "cap assembly" and the O ring on the cap seals against the top of the filling tube.  You could remove the assembly and it might be possible to drill out or cut off the end.  If you regretted doing so, you can replace the assembly for £250+ !!

But as stated, there are more pros than cons in my opinion.

Provides; the required volume for expansion, restricts nozzle to petrol only, protects against major splash-back (unless you do as I did once, when the nozzle slipped and fuel sprayed back all over the tank when one week old),  for consistent "full" level, etc.

At a petrol station the other day, the cashier wouldn't let another bike re-fuel until he was off his bike.  Having seen a few flambéed riders on Utube,  getting off the bike so you can run away without dropping the bike and adding to the blaze seems a good idea, so anything to reduce the chance of getting fuel on your hot engine, exhaust and your clothes seems a good idea too.
