With the constrained intrinsics the default is safe because optimizations don't recognize the constrained intrinsic and thus don't know how to optimize it. If we instead rely on the strictfp attribute then we'll need possibly thousands of checks for this attribute, we'll need everyone going forward to remember to check for it, and we'll have no way to verify that this rule is being followed.
