Ok, guys. How many people have this MIDI thing? How many of you can't be bothered to set the default to suit your usage?

It's straight from the MIDI spec.  Your argument is pretty close to "the
MIDI spec is wrong, no one can hear the difference between 1ms and 4ms".
No.

YOUR argument is "nobody else matters, only I do".

MY argument is that this is a case of give and take.

Take from "few" multimedia users, give to "many" laptop users. Where
"few" and "many" are not very well defined quantities, but obviously
"many" > "few" :-)
Of course that assumes that these are not the same users, which clearly isn't true in all cases.
