    But if people like to use Emacs the other way, why forbid it?

You're arguing against a straw man.  Nobody is trying to "forbid" this.

File name arguments did not implement themselves, you know;
I specifically wrote the code to implement them, even though I think
it's a bad habit.

However, the Emacs manual encourages people not to get into that bad
habit.
