I feel it would be the other way round. If you deny something that is
technically possible, I would be puzzled to get an error about a
technical impossibility. If you want to stop people updating a view,
in my opion, it is very well to tell them they are not allowed to and
not that it isn't technically possible. So there can start a
discussion whether they are rightfully denied to update data therein,
instead of first discussing why it is not technically possible to
update to find out it IS technically possible but it was actually
denied.

You still could put a trigger on the views throwing according
exceptions for specific users. I think I partly used that already but
can't find the code at the moment.
