Standards are standards for a reason. It is almost never correct to
deliberately ignore them. If you don't like them, then revise the
standard.

Historically Microsoft ignored standards either because they
misunderstood them or because they wanted to lock in their customers,
not for any reasons of altruism.

For what it's worth, I can see a value to having

SELECT 'this is quite a long string'
               'which I've joined together '
               'across multiple lines';

although the advantage of it vs using a concat operator is slim.
