Perhaps João can answer your question (in cc).
The current design draws a lot of attention to itself when the modeline
is inactive, because it inherits the style of the active modeline---so
it gets a box property and a different background.
'mode-line-emphasis' just feels like a more suitable choice for a face,
if emphasis in the mode line is the ultimate goal. Otherwise I would
personally prefer no face whatsoever.
