This is true, but it is a trade-off. There is also confusion if selectors are ever moved from the complete profile to the fast profile or if there's any ambiguity about which selectors should be deferred. Is it a syntax error to put selectors in the fast profile in the @defer at-rule? What happens when they get switched? Do fast selectors get deferred in the @defer rule even though they don't need to be? These are questions that don't matter if the selectors that need to be deferred get deferred automatically and the user has opted into that behavior.
