I do use M-x in an explorative way all the time. I was the proponent of the M-x filter when this was discussed a few years ago. I don't want to see a zillion of irrelevant commands when I'm fishing for interesting things on a given context. This is about leaving out commands which only make sense when certain minor or major mode is active. I can't see how this would hamper learning by exploration.
