It's nothing to do with curing slowdown or anything like that, it's purely there for gameplay reasons. Also tying it to a graphic setting would be backwards; it's a separate option to allow for quick selection rather than having to prod a stack of tick boxes to turn things on/off.
The better compromise would be to prod users into picking the desired option when they first run the game, that way people who don't want to be able to see what's going on can feel free to from the outset.

This idea is pretty useless. The default settings show the 3D items and flames, so changing defaults isn't needed.
If you want to see them at low graphic settings, just don't put the graphics at the minimum.
I mean, there's a reason why somebody changed his graphics to minimal, and this reason is low FPS. Objects and flames will decrease the FPS.
Sorry if my English is too bad to explain this well.
