> Width and height are meaningless for inline elements

Really not sure what you're trying to get at there, obviously any element that displays will have a width and height. Maybe you meant a user specified width/height, but the entire point of my post is an inline-block is an inline element with a specifiable width and height. And we've always had the IMG tag, which is also an inline element with a specifiable width and height. The obvious and intuitive choice would have been to not put artificial limits on inline elements.

It's not a limit. It's an expected behavior and you can still deviate from that anyway you wish.

You could even do something crazy like `* {display: block;}` if you really want, and then go from there. Nobody can stop you. The freedom is yours.
