I don't think that "held out" is what happened with these dialogs. I think it's more like "don't fix what isn't broken" or "we forgot about that".

Very true. For the longest time, the dialog box to install new fonts on Windows was a hold-over from Win 3.1.

    I never knew there was such a thing. I've always dragged fonts into the Fonts "folder" in the Control Panel.
