Comment (by ashfame):

 I think we should not autoload everything, this would cause issues on
 several sites which make use of options table as a general purpose storage
 table than small options. WordPress.com is obviously a very controlled
 environment.

 Example: A lot of shipping rates plugin of WooCommerce save huge data in
 options table, which would slow the autoload query a lot. Also this would
 cause an increase in memory footprint without a persistent caching storage
 and possibly never-used cache entries or worse undesired evictions in case
 of persistent caching storage.

 This impacts a lot of WordPress sites which are doing more CMS-like
 things.
