I don't think so.  To me, this discussion is about whether to use `pcase':

* Only when it really offers something,
* All the time, everywhere,
* Or something in between (what?).

Decomposition pattern-matching.  Use it when it helps.

Literal "pattern" matching does not require `pcase'.  Should
`pcase' be used for such mundane cases anyway, since it can be?

That's the question that I think is being discussed.  Whether
wholesale replacement of `cond', `case', `if', etc. by `pcase'
is a good idea, just because it could do the job.
