Make it behave the way coders who use lexical-binding (which I believe
are now the majority) expect.

You likely won't write code that relies on lexical scoping since you're
used to writing dynamically scoped code, but many coders nowadays never
touch dynamically scoped code and hence very much expect the lexical
binding rules, which is mostly the ability to use closures (which is
sometimes present only implicitly via macros like `gv-ref` (itself used
in other macros like `add-function`), thunk.el and generator.el macros,
...).
