That person did not really propose to Org to do it, but to have Emacs
EWW to be customizable, so that any content type could be opened by
user's settings. You missed the point of it.

From position of developer, developers shall ideally think of users,
and users think of the assistance of computer to users. 

Users appreciate developers who make their life easier.

That means Org authors missed to use Emacs built-ins.

When goto-mode works with mid: by me setting up browse-url-handlers,
then I have expected Org to work as well. 

But I do not rely on Org mode to use browse-url, rather I rely on Org
using elisp: links.

That is not really "mid:" but it will work for long time and be
independent of Org developers' decisions.
