Comment (by EmpireOfLight):

 The issue arose when testing svg replacement of the dashicons font in the
 admin, the checkbox and radios broke and would need to be re-coded (see
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/10/23/converting-dashicons-to-svg/) .
 Rather than adding those to the list of fixes, it makes more sense to
 leave form rendering/chrome to the browser. The admin recently switched to
 system fonts, and similarly, removing the extra layer of styling might
 even be a performance boost.
