Most of them are over 10 years old ... Time is going on, we are not 2004 anymore, too :)
It's you last hope if your rpm database gets corrupt.
The question is if that still happens, it's not 1996 anymore :-) Also we have btrfs snapshots by default that include the rpm DB.
No, *we* don't.
*we* have btrfs snapshots by default. If you disable them, your problem, like you could also disable the backup-rpmdb service if you don't like it. Sorry, but that you can change the default is no argument, as it works in both directions. If you decide to not use btrfs, you need to decide how else you want to backup your rpmdb. Punishing everybody else is not the right way to do it.
Please, just move the service to run some other time. Daily or weekly, just not at boot. In fact, you could create something to run some services that currently run at boot to run 15 minutes later.
Better would be to run it if the rpmdb has really changed. If really some people insist on this. My vote would be: disable it by default, and if people decide to do a non-standard installation and they need the service, they can enable it.
