Not only because of that. The issue and PR the OP raised were closed by a core developer with an explanation of their reasoning. No-one suggested there that the OP re-open the discussion here, so I’m not clear where they are referring to with “I was asked to post about it here again”.
Honestly, I’m mostly indifferent to this change myself, it seems small and relatively innoccuous. But conversely, it doesn’t seem sufficiently important to warrant overturning another core dev’s decision.
Yes, ideas do sometimes get shouted down in favour of the status quo. I’m more worried when significant proposals with decent use cases get shouted down.
