Then wouldn't dispensing with other rules of grammar be even more "freeing"? This is both a genuine and rhetorical question.

I guess it's like user interface design, where a cardinal rule is to be conservative, and not break user expectations unduly.

Of course UI patterns and language evolves, but the evolution of changes should probably be gradual, and done for a justifiable purpose. In this case, I'm not sure the stylistic choice actually adds anything to the clarity or beauty of the writing.
