Problematic for whom? I don't see why.

Why would we want to "stop them"? That feature is/was a _convenience_
for users, a speedup. If you don't appreciate the speedup, so you decide
not to arrange to get it, why should I argue with you? I can still benefit
from that speedup in my projects. so I am happy and so are you.

Nobody said they were "invalid" in any language. I think we are
miscommunicating.
