No, Emacs obeys them because programs on X obey them.  And because
Emacs obeyed them since time immemoriam.

Any further argument is really futile, because we will not stop
supporting X resources.  It is your responsibility as the user to set
up the X resources on your system, or invoke Emacs in a way that
instructs Emacs to ignore those resources.

Please, just accept our position on this, even if you disagree,
because it will not change.
