Ok, I'll bite, why is it a problem?

Because it's a new syntax.
Because fallthrough isn't a big enough issue to devote an entire lexical token to.
Because it came out of the blue.
Because instead of overhauling the entire thing and coming up with a new syntax which only executes one of the case blocks, which is what is intended 99.994% of the time, we should make arcane patches to an inherently bad design. No wait..
