Comment:

 Speaking personally, I use this option all the time.

 Speaking as a member of the accessibility team, there are a lot of
 problems in the visual editor for various types of disabilities, so for
 some people with disabilities the simplicity of the text editor makes the
 writing process much simpler. While it's true that users can disable this
 for themselves, having it completely disabled at the user level helps make
 certain that they won't have to repeat that action later.

 The accessibility team will probably need to discuss this; it may be
 reasonable to remove, since it's not the only way to deal with that issue,
 but it'll need discussion and possibly some feedback from users with
 disabilities.
