Filters are for advanced Emacs users, not normal Emacs users.

A "normal" Emacs users is someone who knows how to set an option
but who doesn't know how to write a function.

This is always a trade-off: if something is badly needed by users,
let's have an option.  If something is needed only for a few users,
let's encourage someone to share her/his filter(s)*.

I don't really have an opinion here: my impression is that the
filter is correct in this case.

* Btw, maybe we should consider gathering filters in some unique
place, so that users can search and find them easily?  Either a
new directory in Worg or a new repository on the server?  This
is powerful enough to deserve a separate place IMO.
