You want to set up scale dependent visibility and rules first without waiting for time consuming renders, then enable rendering when everything is added. I know we can also use the option to make layers not visible when they are first added to the canvas so I reckon that use case can be worked around easily enough, One reason to remove it: I have often done training courses where a user has randomly unchecked that and they can't figure out why nothing draws. In a training room that is easy to fix. In 'the wild' I bet it is a source of big frustration.... We could also have a behaviour like holding shift down when adding a layer to the canvas makes the layer visibility turn off in the legend....though it probably still won't help Denis' use case.....
