"Fanciness" is in the eyes of the beholder.  It is clear that you
don't like electric-indent-mode, but that doesn't mean your opinion
represents that of the majority.  We decided to turn that mode ON by
default because quite a few people had other expectations.

Fundamental mode is just a mode.  Richard even says that it is an
important mode.  Then it follows that assuming it has no "fanciness"
whatsoever isn't necessarily correct.
