That could as well be the case. But how do you specify a dash-dot
line style with one setdash call (with the proposed semantics that
dots must be round and dashes must be square)? You can't, so
you still have to do some acrobatics to get round-dot-square-dash
lines.

Not that I really find it that important. With Unicode support and
all that, whether something can be easily done in Postscript isn't
really that important nowadays.
