I'm not against such a feature, not at all. My objection was only to
the particular implementation that you suggested: we cannot suddenly
add a :predicate to a global mode where previously there wasn't one.
People who activate this global mode expect it to be active
everywhere, no questions asked.

The usual way of enabling a mode selectively is to enable the
non-global variant of the mode in a mode hook. I'm sure you know it.

You are preaching to the choir, really. There's nothing wrong with
using :predicate when introducing a new globalized minor mode. I only
objected to doing that in a mode that exists for such a long time
without any conditions.
(Btw, I don't think I understand the use of :predicate which you
proposed: it isn't documented as accepting a function, only nil, t, or
a list of modes.)
