Back when I tested it (several years ago) ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology was
so slow it made rendering slower compared to
not having postgis side simplification at all... a real catastrophe :-D
But years have passed, maybe now the function is faster.  Or you just have
a different set of geometries where the function is not as slow.

Anyways, having a new flag does not hurt, allows for more options when
dealing with the real world case.
