Drift...
The RFC's say "SHOULD" (emphasis theirs) rather than "MUST."
Both HP-UX and Solaris have rather robust ACK avoidance heuristics to cut-down
on the CPU overhead of bulk transfers. (That they both have them stems from
their being cousins, sharing a common TCP stack ancestor long ago - both of
course have been diverging since then).
