Decreasing poly count on models

With ldraw 'better' depends a lot on perspective. The file format and large parts library maintains backwards compatibility to the 90s. It's also hand editable. It's also highly portable.

Where it does fall over in matching with modern 3D standards. But to change that in the way you'd like we'd need to alter the entire parts library, all the techniques and technology written for part design, and entirely break backwards compatibility.

Or to put it another way, what is good for a renderer is not necessarily good for any of the other tasks of the file format.
