Problem is that markers slow down editing, and significantly so.  And
    normal editing operations are not associated with extensive consing,
    so they won't trigger frequent garbage collection.

That is sufficient reason to urge people to use match-data only when
really necessary, but not a sufficient reason to eliminate match-data.
