Given the choice between only "atime" and "noatime" I'd agree with you.
Heck, I use it myself.  But "relatime" seems to combine the best of both
worlds.  It currently just suffers from mount not supporting it in any
relevant distro.
Well, we could make it the default for the kernel (possibly under a 
"fast-atime" config option), and then people can add "atime" or "noatime" 
as they wish, since mount has supported _those_ options for a long time.
