I would describe it as legacy that emerged when we added the gpio bindings and didn't spell default-brightness correctly! Currently I think this is only implemented for GPIO and it is simply not needed for most hardware. More specifically, for hardware that is capable of flicker-free handover (bootloader -> kernel) by examining the hardware state at handover then we don't want a DT property. It is duplicative and can only result in bad handovers.
