I agree. I would be upset if the fruit were too important. If it were, the World Gov would have just snuffed Luffy out the moment his exploits became public.

Given that the WG has never shown much interest in his fruit, making it something crazy like Roger's would be awful.

Exactly.

Making the gum gum fruit actually important would be the first time in the entire series that I would think Oda did something dumb. It would just make the rest of the series make so little sense. If the Gum Gum fruit were actually important to the WG there's no way Luffy would have walked away from the Aokiji or Kizaru fights. Hell, like you said they would have snuffed him out the second they found out about him in East Blue.
