 > because how many use cases are there really for using have_posts()
 without the_post()?

 I wanted to clarify this point further, not saying that this is designed
 to replace all usage of have_posts(), but all usage of have_posts() that
 also uses the_post() '''right after have_posts()''', specifically in
 while() loops.

 There are literally no uses of `while( have_posts() )` that I can find
 without a call to `the_post()` directly after it. Not in core, not in most
 of the plugins I've seen use it, nor cases of custom WP_Query objects
 calling via `while( $query->have_posts() )`.
