As one of the core developers, I would say "stubbornly sticking to their interpretation" is not entirely fair. I am open to changing this, but I don't want to do it hastily --- because that means changing things twice. Figuring out all the correct behaviours, in particular with equations and inline objects, is challenging. I tried to constructively present some arguments in favor and against the proposed changes in the linked issue, but I simply did not have time to push things forward beyond that myself so far.
