And the GPIO pins would suffer 75% less ;-)

If we can source such parts on short notice, which is often much
harder than you'd expect. (I'll have to tell you about the sourcing
adventures of our glorious past over a beer :)
Otherwise, we may use transistors with built-in resistors, of which
we already have a few in our designs. That would also spare us the
re-layout.
