Again, at least according to the reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4cojj9/it_is_probably_time_to_ditch_xf86videointel/

and Phoronix thread:

https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoronix-articles/863332-intel-s-unreleased-3-0-x-org-driver-gets-more-fixes-for-dri3-present

it looks like there are more bugs in xf86-video-intel than in
xf86-video-modesetting.

Besides, what I was hinting at was:

Why not improve on xf86-video-modesetting then instead of having two separate
drivers? Just want to understand this.
