Yes, this new behavior can be worked around, in more than one way.
But people get annoyed by changes which invalidate their muscle memory
of many years.  So we must in each case like this to have a very good
reason for such changes, otherwise people would rightfully conclude
that our decisions are more-or-less are arbitrary and basically prefer
someone's workflows over those of others.  I'm sorry, but past
behavior gets more weight in such situations, just because it was here
first.
