How probably is it that the performance hit was caused by switching the case of text as opposed to using complex borders and gradients on each key? Not very.
Since late October, I've been using the ZTE Open as my sole mobile phone and haven't noticed any significant improvements in the keyboard change that would necessitate removing user desired functionality. Other than "iOS does it", I haven't seen anything from a real world user's perspective as to why this change is necessary. Perhaps all of the decision makers have iOS devices, perhaps not. What I do know, is that functionality that I appreciate has been removed and there is no option to re-enable that functionality.
