You're assuming there is actually a valid use case for the popup in

But as you've already pointed out, browsers can offer users who never
want to have links automatically open anywhere than the current window,
so webpages' hints are completely ignored anyway.

So target (except for frames within a page) is only relevant for users
who like some things to open in new windows, and trust webpages to offer
hints on which links are appropriate for this. As such, the views of
people who never want new windows don't need to be taken into account
here -- because they won't be affected whatever happens!
You're ignoring the users who don't like popups, but don't know how to
prevent them using those *hidden prefs* I mentioned.

e.g. in Firefox, setting the pref browser.link.open_newwindow to 1 causes any links with
target="" that would normally open a new window, to open in the current tab.
There are a few other prefs to control window.open() as well.
open_newwindow=1 -suppressing- new windows? Holy counterintuitive, Batman!
Or is that just a typo on your part?
It's not a boolean value, so 1 != true.
