You cannot claim to be talking on behalf of all non-developing users, of course:
1) Some non-developing users may dislike the former standard.
2) Some non-develping users may use 'cmap="Grays"' to get a decent picture.
3) The *future* users (and that's a lot of people, right?!) do not
care for a legacy-but-bad standard and would prefer to get something
trustworthy from the start.
So it seems that you are talking on behalf of non-developing users who
are used to this standard and may even like it. Problem is, we don't
know if this set is empty of even represents more that 1% of the
total.
But words wrap it all up into a "think of the children" cry, and
that's more powerful than any argumentation.
