During the 3 year period in which the Z warriors train for the androids, Son Goku withheld knowledge of the ROSAT from everyone. He only reveals it after everyone is completely destroyed by the Androids. Do you think that Goku was wrong in doing so? If everyone were aware of said location, they could have used it at any time during the 3 years and potentially be much stronger than they already were at the start of the android saga. For example, Imagine if Vegeta had used it 1 week before the androids appeared and unlocked SSG2. The saga would have wrapped up very quickly.

Re: Did Goku cause harm by withholding information about ROSAT?
Strict lifetime limit: In DBZ, the Room of Spirit and Time (ROSAT) has a strict 48-hour (2 years) lifetime limit. Wasting that resource blindly before knowing the Androids' true power would have been a fatal mistake. Without that backup, they would have never defeated Cell later on.
Goku knew the danger: Goku entered as a kid, and the extreme conditions meant he only lasted a month. Having a 3-year margin, he logically thought traditional training on Earth would be more than enough.
SSJ2 wasn't a logical option: Assuming Vegeta would have unlocked SSJ2 is absurd. At that time, they didn't even know a level beyond Super Saiyan existed. They weren't going to achieve it by magic without the proper pressure.
To be 100% honest and step outside the fiction, the real answer is that Akira Toriyama probably hadn't even thought of inventing that room during the 3-year time skip.
