In my experience, the issue with mysql_secure_ installation is that it is unfriendly at the source. There is no way to use it with non-default configuration, or if there is, I haven't found it yet.
MySQL Sandbox does its own secure cleanup with its default installation. It assigns a password to root and removes the anonymous users. Since you can assign a password and a binding address during installation, I think this matter is handles almost as well as the deficient 'mysql_ secure_ installation' .
In MySQL 5.7.4, the lack of anonymous users makes this procedure almost completely obsolete.
Fixing this problem (if it were possible at all) would involve too much effort for little benefit.
