Diagnostic output isn't supposed to be "parsed by software", that's usually just a crude attempt at getting around lack of an interfacen supposed to provided what said software really wants to have. Hence, optimizing the output format to make the crude workaround easier to implement at the expense of making the intended purpose (debugging) more complicated are a bad idea.

There's nothing "controversial" here, just lack of understanding.
