Visiting websites (or making connections to IP based services) that aren't CA approved is not some crazy niche desire as you're painting it. It was the default for a very long time and is still the only way to access many websites. When changing the feature requires recompiling a lib and linking it into your browser which you also recompile it's basically reality and not just a default. The only reality. And that's bad. It should be a setting at least.
