The reason at that time was to get rid of too complicated TS based
content rendering. Compare the old "content(default)" to
css_styled_content and you get the idea how refreshingly easy to
understand css_styled_content is.

Note that I'm not arguing against moving render_bullets() into TypoScript.

...but always keep in mind not to get too complicated with TS.
