For this argument to be taken seriously, you'd have to point to
concrete chunks of code or design traits that constitute this
"baggage", and perhaps propose an alternative design that would be
free of that.
(I happen to disagree with your assessment, if it isn't clear.)
In any case, this has nothing to do with the issue at hand. Even if
the entire effort invested in the rewrite of the display engine was a
waste, the point is that it could be, and have been, done.
