The boot scroll was/is actively harmful in that it requires process-of-elimination troubleshooting to recognize deviations from a "normal" boot process. The individual subsystems should be able to recognize their correct state and output a clear diagnostic when they are not in that state. I shouldn't have to step back through e.g. several broken services to find out my second ethernet port didn't initialize.
