My point is that we will eventually need to merge TYPE and PARAMS to
fix another bug - `org-plot/preset-plot-types' options like :set, :line,
etc being ignored. So, instead of patching the way you proposed, we can
merge TYPE and PARAMS into PARAMS, making the existing (plist-get params
:check-ind-type) working.

In other words, org-plot's handling of parameters is very broken
now. There is more than one bug lurking there, and it may be more
productive to fix things together.

You solution will, of course, work, but only for this specific bug you
described; not for other.
