Have you bothered reading the referenced discussions?
Yes I have read it through.
You don't appear
to bother bringing anything new to it.
Parsing a whole bunch of dependencies isn't the right default for
someone not interested in AUCTeX or TeX.
I didn't know that AUCTeX is switched on by default for everybody using emacs. I (wrongly) assumed that AUCTeX was switched on only when you enable it in your init.el .
Since AUCTeX is enabled by default for everybody and if the parsing would occur to everybody if the variable is set, your argument is strong.
