I find it very telling that they even had to write an article a couple of years
ago about why their bad idea wasn't so bad.

This phrase is key.

As attachment 100290 shows, we don't have control over whether the use of radio
buttons or checkboxes will be obvious from the context - since these are
user-created items. Nor could we claim that they are sparingly used.

And I strongly disagree this this is just "historical differences for those
subtly different behaviours". The distinction is not subtle at all.
