I used to be involved in a poker game where sometimes I'd split the pot
in a stupid way.  One player would complain, and another player would
say, "Just let him do it the dumb way."

Hundreds of bad ideas float through emacs-devel per year, and for
whatever inexplicable reason, the maintainer entertains them all.  Most
if not all those ideas never see the light of day, or get
compartmentalized in a module never exercised in practice.
