That's a reasonable request, and indeed there are situations where we can
lookup a variable but we cannot call a function which could potentially run
arbitrary code.
Maybe that's enough to keep the feature.

But the above request does not mean we need to be able to mix&match
let-bindings, buffer-local, and frame-local variables. If we disallowed the
buffer-local&frame-local variables, the problem would disappear. This part
of the language is already complex enough as it stands.
