Why is this good?
IMHO it's just bloat: if someone uses "emacs -q", it's
quite intentional and probably knows enough about emacs to do
M-x load-file ~/.emacs RET.
emacs -q is not something done very often, wanting to load .emacs when
using emacs -q is even less frequent. So why bother providing a special
purpose facility for it?
