No one *really* does things "just because they can." I wonder if others describe it that way when they don't understand the motive.

Or maybe they mean, "Even though you can, maybe you shouldn't," or, "There may be consequences of your actions you haven't considered." In those cases, if they're really concerned, they should probably try to make a compelling argument instead of giving patronizing advice.
