This is plugin territory, imo. Some people might want certain sections to be hidden from accounts other than admins (Publishers). Other people might want more fine-grained control over it, perhaps to only allow someone to publish to certain sections based on their privilege level. Others might want the sections hidden from all users, including Publishers (after static content has been written).
Since we can't know in advance which way someone will go, having a hard-coded radio button is too limiting. A plugin can easily extend the Sections panel and offer the level of control a site admin requires.

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Not a problem, just a feature request.
What is the idea?
In many projects, there are often some sections used as static pages without any "article" tags (ex. a contact page). These kind of pages are not intended to receive articles. However, they remain visible into the sections dropdown list on the page "Write".
For the final users, the page choice is supposed to be active for any content written.
Please, to avoid problems add a "Hidden for no administrator privileges" radio bouton into the "Section" panel. These could be very usefull without any plugin..
