The logic is only sound for interactive plaintext typing workloads. It should have been turned off by default 20 years ago, let alone now.
Remember that IPv4 original "target replacement date" (as it was only an "experimental" protocol) was 1990...
And a common thing in many more complex/advanced protocols was to explicitly delineate "messages", which avoids the issue of Nagle's algorithm altogether.
