I think this would only apply to the lines starting with
(run-hooks 'text-mode-hook

There don't seem to be too many of them.  I think the idea is that
derived modes will call their parents with delay-mode-hooks set so
that the hooks of the parent are run after the derived mode has had a
chance to override some settings.
