That and: You only complain if something is broken, i.e. selection bias.

The point here really is that this is a "legacy feature" and as most
often "backwards compatibility" hampers progress. The main goal of
Unity is to create an enjoyable and coherent user experience. This
can't be achieved without throwing out a lot of cruft and at least for
now significantly reduce configurability and thereby complexity of the
user experience.
