OK, but the major advantage you've suggested for Chinese typography, that the meaning of written words drifts much less over hundreds of year by allowing fast-change sound to change independently, is much less valuable today, right? Modern tech means we expect less drift overall, and less problems for a given amount of drift. Furthermore, the cost of drift is not felt by the people using the language at the time, so this advantage won't influence the choices people make.
