By your reasoning, we shouldn't even have an author-alterable cursor property. That looks like a sophism. If it's probably relatively safe to have user-agent default cursor instead of OS-level default one (if a link is unclickable, it's unclickable regardless of cursor; cursor is just an extra visual indicator not affecting functionality), this does not mean that we should never alter user-agent default cursor to something more appropriate like `move` or `resize` in a specific case. It's absolutely not a matter of to have the `cursor` property or not to, it's just a matter of how serious is a possible impact of changing meaning of exactly `cursor: default` declaration.
