You don't care because your job is not to ensure that a new release of C++ doesn't break production code. You gaze at your navel and pretend that's the universe everyone is bound to. But there are others using C++, and using it in production software. Some of them care, and your subjective opinions don't have an impact in everyone else's requirements.

Read Clang's manual and check what compiler flags you need to flip to get that behavior. It's already there.
