This has been implemented meanwhile.

Changing the UI is still possible (with limits how well DF is suppressed).

Keep in mind that any new attribute needs to be standardized, so opening a
document has the same effect on all platforms and applications. And since users
prefer working with DF, this will not become implemented.

Ultimately it depends on the type of document how much effort and precision
should be done for the layout. If you write a scientific paper you probably
want to use styles. But for a short note or a letter it's perfectly fine to use
multiple returns for paragraph spacing, or bold/italic to emphasize a passage.

On the other hand I see the advantage of such protection when you share a
well-styled document with colleagues or when people should use a company
template, and all styling is broken after some modifications.
