Certainly those (such as myself and apparently Eli)
who have long had it customized to ON know those
implications (whatever they might be), and yet those
users chose to turn it on globally.

Maybe what you meant is that users who haven't had
it ON haven't thought about the implications of
turning it on globally, and some (e.g. you) of them
might find it distracting in some modes.
