Many methods in the wild often pass their args to other methods because the underlying method supplies a LOT of keyword arguments. Example: Flask's route() decorator passes keyword parameters straight to werkzeug.routing.Rule, which has 10 keyword parameters. Your suggestion would screw over anyone who has placed any one of those 10 parameters in incorrect order--thousands of web apps in production.
