There aren't any global challenges and leaderboards where devmode would give people an unfair advantage. Sure, it could be made a server setting to create non-devmode worlds, but I thought it wasn't even available in a multiplayer game? Or was that just dedicated servers?

It used to be an option you could just type in but the devs changed it to needing a steam launch command to invoke it in game.

I have never used it myself though. But I probably would if the map got me stuck someplace as a bug or something.
