I actually brought up those arguments when the widget was being
discussed to be included in GTK+, see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415775 comment #12.

Unfortunately I didn't write it nor did anyone else, the only
implementation was the current one. And, well, it's easy to dismiss
one solution when it's not implemented and you already have another
fully functional one. What would have been nice to see was an actual
usability study about it or at least the input from an usability
expert which didn't happen. I also didn't know about this list at the
time.

Anyway, this is free software after all, so should be up to be changed
in the future if people care and agree. Actually from GTK+'s POV it
would have to be a completely new widget and keep the current one
around for backwards compatibility.
