AFAIK the goal was to only maintain it until the very last graphics
chip in use was able to run shell. It's not there as a preference,
it's a fallback mode for unsupported hardware.

Phoronix is a tabloid seeking sensation. They feed on flames, FUD and
“scandals” so their readership is far from being average end users.
It's not the crowd you can cater to as whenever you “fix” one
“problem” they will quickly find a new thing to hate.
