I tend to agree.  If the major-mode is not autoloaded (as in the eww
case), it's quite likely to be a special major mode that is better
entered via some other function (e.g. store the URL and recreate the
buffer via `eww' which will take care calling eww-mode (and loading any
file that this may require)).
