That's the point. You seem to find the setting very useful while someone else considers it as mediocre. I could find 10 other settings that you find mediocre while I would like the and think they are helpful. So, instead of going by my habits solely I accept a setting that will not change neither your nor my preference. The whole discussion is summed up to: How to resolve preference conflicts and how aggressive should the rejection policy be.
