Why not first implement whatever configurability YOU want, and then
change the default display so that it does not make work harder for
other people, instead of just breaking a long time working feature?

How is this better than just searching in the vc-annotate buffer that
has been the normal work flow for years?

Can you please do it in such a way that you don't replace a working (and
in use for a very long time) setup with a broken one?
