Yeah, but there are also often a lot of things that just genuinely don't make sense anymore. Xterm is packed with support for an insane number of old tty devices that no one needs. There are plenty of terminal emulators that successfully skip all that and no one ever complains. I don't know of a magic formula for being able to tell the difference, so it's hard thing to talk about in the abstract.
