You mean, except requiring all the other major modes to implement it,

including those outside the Emacs core?  No other objections.

I don’t think that’s a fair way of putting it. 

Giving major-mode authors more options with regard to faces they can use in their modes, does in no way -force- major-mode authors into using those if they don’t think they provide value. 

Right now major-mode authors are already inventing their own non-standard font-lock-faces and giving them standard options to use instead can IMO only be considered an improvement.
