I hear this a lot, but it seems to me that the "feel" (for lack of a
better word) for which-keys is different from everything else in Emacs
by default.  Window management can be fragile enough to begin with, but
having a mode enabled by default that disturbs the current window layout
and visible parts of the buffer whenever a user isn't quick enough -- in
other words does nothing -- is something I don't think should be the
case by default.
