Some potential vault users looking to store funds for long time periods
(say of decades) might have quantumphobia and prefer to avoid Taproot for
that reason.
One of the arguments presented for not using pubkey hashes in Taproot is
that quantumphobic people could choose to continue using non-Taproot
outputs. Making a feature that's targeted for long-term cold-storage vaults
available on Taproot only might be less ideal in that view.
