You raise a fair point. I live here, know it's there and won't disturb it
I intend to be carried out of this house in a long wooden box. If my plans change and I sold the house before that happened then I'd make it clear during the sales process that one ceiling historically contained an artex coating and shouldn't be disturbed. That would be the right thing to do.

I'd rather my legacy wasn't asbestos exposure for the poor fuck trying to move a light fitting...
