I interpret that as a trend of "If you *can* do something [use 
non-abbreviated symbol names], you *should*." Just like games industry: They 
*can* use smaller text now that TVs have higher resolutions, so now they 
*insist* on making all their text as tiny as possible just because they can. 
(Never mind the pesky fact that tiny text in a higher resolution is *STILL 
TINY TEXT!* Erm, ok, ranty side-track over...)
