If the concern is mere legality I would suspect that not renting a tank to a certified diver may carry unintended consequences for a shop. It suggests some form of assumed liability for determining the intent of the user (which the shop has no obligation to assume but has). Should another renting diver die from equipment misuse, could an argument not be made that said shop should have worked harder to know what that diver intended, seeing as they have set precedence and championed themselves to being the determiner of unsafe applications.
Morally speaking, there are so many concerns that I wouldn't know where to start. Do shops worry about teaching obese people to dive, old people, stupid people... They certainly have an increased risk of accident/death while participating in the sport. Or, do they just teach - if the credit card clears.
