Comment (by ramiy):

 With the current `get_the_archive_title` filter, you have to write a very
 long code to filter each and every page type to remove the prefix. It's
 not developer friendly.

 And as a developer, I prefer to write my own function to replace
 `get_the_archive_title()` than using this filter. Writing my own function
 is faster and easier than filtering the current function.

 On the other hand, a boolean filter is simpler, faster and developer
 friendly.

 ----

 For example, using this simple snippet in your `functions.php` file:

 {{{
 // Remove archive title prefix
 add_filter( 'archive_title_prefix', '__return_false' );
 }}}

 Theme authors can remove the title prefix, and another developer can
 create child-theme to add the prefix back (with return true). As i said,
 boolean filters are simpler and developers friendly.
