There is exponential growth of possibilities in compound expressions.
And I'm afraid that ambiguities would happen in unexpected places and
it would not be easy to find where to add type signatures. Especially
as there is less explicit type information than in many other
statically typed

Perhaps. But I think there may be other reasons too.
Having fmap separate is useful for beginners and for teaching,
because you can

At each usage of getLine, the typechecker should follow both tracks,
and take the one that is type-correct.
