Here are two reasons:
- lack of convincing arguments: any program that runs
"ls -i non-directory ..." is not affected at all.
Of course it is effected -- it takes much longer to run.
- 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.
Every single time that ls -i is run, by anyone, or anything, anywhere,
EVER, it will be slower with this change. That's adversely effecting
every user, which is a lot more than one.
