Completely agree. But I get anguished notes from users of MS Word and 
OpenOffice, and Mac apps (where anchor positioning doesn't work, though 
other OpenType support is good) asking for precomposed characters. The 
mainstream apps, unfortunately, don't support OpenType well, and until 
that happens, and end-users figure out how to use those features, 
pre-composed characters will be necessary.
