Yes, because if we did that, the general fault with the misuse of page styles,
for things which are not page styles, would be used to argued that any
suggestion of removal of an individual style. Plus, it would preclude more
fundamental solutions of the problem.

However - if people who have commented on this bug so far are willing to commit
to not making that argument, and protecting individual bug pages from such
objections, I am willing to adopt that approach.

Some arguments were made in some of the comments, which you could call
"philosophical". Still, the bug is not about materialism vs idealism or whether
a god exists or not, it's about supposed Page Styles which are not really
Styles of Pages, or are confusing, or otherwise don't make sense.

A large fraction of UI/UX bugs are about UI elements or behaviors which don't
make sense, or confuse, or are inconsistent with what they're supposed to be.
We don't close them as philosophical.

The main problem (or one of the main problems) is that there is a 
_mis_understanding of the topic by people who are simply used to a faulty
status quo.

It is impolite to close people's bugs when they have not indicated they approve
of the closure, without discussing it with them; and that goes doubly for
people who are frequently on this Bugzilla and are likely to respond and not
just disappear.
