When you boil it down, the downside of isolation transformers - like many other safety devices (and not just restricted to the world of electronics) - is that they can give a false sense of security.
I personally think that it is much clearer to not include "safety" as a selling point of such a device. Rather, it is a device to enable certain activities - activities that wouldn't be possible in any other way in a normal professional environment today.
Obviously, there are other uses for isolation transformers - such as the types with grounded centre-tapped secondary windings - but that's a different application altogether...
