If you mean

    Do you think my request is based on non-valid reasons?

then, not to be offensive or anything, but yes, I consider the request

    This flag should read --disable-hosted-libstdc++ for clearity,
    consistency.  The hosted library is not named libstdcxx, but libstdc++.

for "clarity and consistency" to be an invalid reason.  Or rather,
a good valid reason in itself, but not good enough in this situation.
Because this scheme /breaks/.
