That is by no means a fact. Don't claim that things are facts when they 
obviously isn't. If you have facts, then prove it.

Always visible is the default now. Dodge windows is gone, but auto-hide 
is still there. I don't think most people would boot a computer in order 
to only use gcalctool or some other very small window very often. 
Perhaps it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to switch between 
always-show and auto-hide? That's easily implemented outside of Unity, 
so I don't see that as a big problem. You could add a launcher to a 
script that does it, if you really wanted to and then you'd have your 
super+num shortcut to it. If switching between visible and hidden is 
such a killer feature, then I'm sure you'll want to spend a launcher on it?
