The problem is, some people who don't use AMS, nonetheless use macros with the same name. Concluding from the occurance of a macro \hbar that AMS is needed is simply wrong, especially if there is no way do disable AMS after it has been "auto-detected". So I'd rather have AMS detection completely removed from validate(), but - for convenience reasons as probably most users don't care - switched on by default. This way it is possible to disable AMS if it is really not wanted and everybody can get want he wants.
