Yes, of course. But with any development tool, there is a time cost associated with reading documentation (and I think it would be a difficult argument to effect that reading documentation for a tool one frequently uses is a cost without benefit).
My personal opinions aside, the major cost for dropping the [run-script] requirement would be reduced flexibility if npm were to add more built-in commands in the future. 'Namespacing' them under [run-script] seems like a logical choice, to not cage potential future new commands for npm.
