GDB is used in lots of places, often times called programmatically. You can't just change long-standing behaviour and get away with it. This is not a web framework. So additional positional arguments on the gdb command line will always be interpreted as core files or PIDs instead of being passed through to the inferior program (unless using --args). Similar things apply to other complaints.
