It's not like the newer Ms wouldn't have anything stabilizing there - the funny colored inserts serve the same purpose and generally don't do a much worse job (well, unless you got a problem with loose rivets...).
Oh, the key stems on MX switches wobble quite a bit, too - but as in case of the BS boards, this doesn't affect function negatively, so noone cares. Key wobble might be a half-decent quality indicator on rubber dome boards. I think it's only the combination with increased friction that makes this critical.
