Since we already have optional features to do that, why do we need to
change the default?
If you are arguing for making Icomplete the default, we can discuss
that. But even if we decide to make it the default, there will be
people who'd like the old behavior, and for them we should still offer
the current behavior as an option they could use.

Some people like the current behavior, which matches what shells do.
