No no, that wasn't my point.

My understanding is that the qualified ones are in DAML+OIL because they
were free to implement. i.e. the additional cost of implementing them over
the unqualified ones was trivial.

I think that they do add real expressiveness to the language.
The case against them is that even if that expressiveness is free to
implement, it costs learners, documentors, ontology designers etc.
Given that the particular expressiveness is close to useless, then a
cost-benefit analysis suggests it goes.
