One possible use case of canvas are technical drawings. For even
extremely simple drawings - think of a circle with centerlines and a
diameter dimension - dash-dotted lines are needed as well as dimension text.
I would like to see both (dashed lines and text) in future canvas versions.

I strongly agree and second this.

Why is it more effective

The latter, IMHO, is semantically bogus. But that's just a matter of
opinion, of course.
hmm ...
ctx.scale(2,1)

illustrates a sequence of manipulations semantically very well, doesn't

That's a really particular use case which is hardly representative of
