Well, the use-case that comes up quite often for me (for any commands,
not just postgres) is that I add parameters I know or remember from my
last look at --help and then want to check again what else to add, for
that it is useful to be able to use --help as the last parameter.

Heavy +1 to fix this - it's always been a pet peeve of mine. Postgres tools are not the only ones that do this, but they are definitely an outlier.
 
Cheers,
