Browser vendors will be hesitant to remove any special variant that might break existing websites.

The number of websites with this issue is so small that in my 9 years of crawling the web, I'd never noticed the issue.

Why do you think you would notice it? I imagine the only giveaway would be the url in status bar when you hover mouse over the link. If you are a programmer (or very pedant person) you might notice it, otherwise probably not.

Also, I hope they acted on some real-world statistics, provided by Google's or other crawlers...

I was the CTO of a web-scale search engine, and now I work on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. I'm not referring to things I noticed as a web end-user.
