Lets stick to the analogy a bit more.
I am not taking sides (I don't know enough off lv2 or ladspa to do so) but for
me it sounds as if fons isn't arguing about extras but of basic features...

A plugin needing some special feature wouldn't not work on hosts not
implementing that feature. You gave the example of the gui yourself...
Explain to a user why his car is not allowed on certain streets because it
has a radio!
And I don't think fons talks about extras like radio but things like smoother
automation (controlling velocity in a smoother way)...
He didn't even mention guis (which I concur is a bonus and a host not
implementing graphics should still give access to the parameters via text).

The car that is LADSPA has been working just fine in it's
(admittedly
limited) domain. We have chosen that as our base set of features
accordingly.
It comes with a gas tank, and tires, but not a radio. There's a big
shelf of radios right at the dealership you can insert in 5 seconds with
no tools. Arguing for radios to be in the "standard" feature set is
stupid because: I don't have any problems with the way LV2
provides for future
extensions - it's well done. But requiring such a mechanism to
obtain basic low-level information is as silly as offering the
gas tank on a car as an option (I assume you would include the
wheels as standard).
Haha, nice analogy! Surely you realize that most cars are
sold with only
the basic standard-wheels? Sad but it seems that this also the case for
lv2. If you want to have sport-wheels or a bigger gas tank or a
speedometer it seems you have to rely on extensions to the basic
version...
