For one, I agree with you there are situations where indeed it does
look better without it.

For two, the user defined additional tic only was set to show that
this possibility (still) is at your disposition.  E.g., to mark a
critical threshold like in control charts (analytical chemistry /
chemical engineering), adding lower/upper control levels before a
process runs away.  Thus, it was an alternative to an one-liner like

```
set arrow from graph 0,first 2.5e7 to graph 1, first 2.5e7 nohead lt
0 lc "red"
```

as in «our infrastructure reliably processes up to 25M events/s».
