Regarding the latters changeset comment this was done to see te object
also in smaller zoom levels. I can understand this since I miss bigger
objects of wood and water in smaller ZL.

Have a look at the Caspian Sea¹ and imagine it showing up only from ZL 6
and lower like the lakes to it's east.
This would make the appearance of the map really worse.
