What proof do you have that this was intended for legacy devices? This is a very useful functionality any time you want to filter a list -- there is SDK support for this type of filtering which only works with the keyboard. So unless I see something from Google that this was removed intentionally for whatever reason, I don't believe this is a legacy device only function.
