 The fixes are supposed to make the driver comply with the ODBC standard, i.e. require the escape sequences in order to activate the functions.
This is better than trying to modify all the driver software (CLIv2, JDBC, OLEDB) to implement ODBC specific functionality. Even with modified drivers you'd still have problems taking a working SELECT statement with extensions and wrapping a view around it.  That
would imply modifying the Teradata RDBMS to provide native support ODBC functions, which seems like the tail wagging the dog.
