The problem is that C-q SPC has limited applicability - it works only in regexp isearch, and has no effect in normal non-regexp isearch. This might be too confusing to users when typing the same key sequence unexpectedly works differently in different isearch modes. Initially C-q SPC was intended only for regexp isearch, but after introduction of isearch-lax-whitespace mode it can't be used in non-regexp mode because the C-q SPC feature was based on regexps. I don't propose to remove it now, keeping it for users that rely on it in regexp search. But to remove mentions from documentation to not confuse users about the feature that doesn't work in non-regexp mode.
