Yeah, I'm not sure about that.

This makes sense to me. It's nice that there's an option to configure it for
someone who really wants it, but making everything bold isn't really the
right approach to the problem in general as it's "abusing" font weight for a
purpose other than what it was intended for.
A purpose that is a holdover from printed material and not well-suited to color
screens. I suspect there is really a narrow range of weight that optimizes
readability, so we need other cues to replace bold, italic, etc.
