I had in mind another person:

You probably decided that I was writing about
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=58774
[WISH]: Let us make EWW browse WWW Org files correctly

That is from my point of view is an excellent example how to bury a 
valid feature request "allow me to do" by aggressive demand "it must be 
by default" disregarding unresolved security issues and by adding more 
noise by discussion of unrelated stuff (should Org files have text/... 
or application/... mime type).

Back to the topic, URI handling packages have incompatible features. It 
is the reason why users have to had explicit configuration.
