I'd say that if I were to think other people being unsafe, I'd approach and ask if that person would mind some observations. If that person doesn't mind my observations, then I'd give it to him or her without copping a holier-than-thou attitude. If that person doesn't want my advise, then that person can do whatever that person wants, including getting killed, and I will make damn sure that I won't be putting my life in danger trying to rescue that person. God helps those who help themselves. I'm not God, so I definitely will not jeopardize my life to help those who don't help themselves.
As far as gear configuration goes, if it ain't my gear, I'd keep my mouth shut. If people were to ask me about my gear configuration and why I rig mine up the way it is then I'll explain to them my reasoning. If others were to lecture to me about my gear configuration without solicitation? I'll tell them to take a flying leap at the moon and leave me and mine be.
Just remember that you don't have a badge that identifies you as a PADI Police or DIR SWAT. Dive your dive. Find a buddy that dives your dive and be content.
