Here are two reasons:
- lack of convincing arguments: any program that runs
"ls -i non-directory ..." is not affected at all.
- lack of evidence that users would be adversely affected:
the only program alleged to be impacted is one that (so far) I've
found no reference to, so I suspect very few people use it.
