Actually, some of the motivation to change it was, that many confused the Replace All Scope with also applying to limiting the Find to be only in the selection (and thus sent me bug reports).
This new approach should be free of that problem.
Since the modifier is shift, the likelihood of the user seeing the button label change when entering a find string is something I'd give rather good odds, thus I do not see that big a problem with having the feature “hidden”.
