And here is another point --- Eraser tool doesn't need a selection to work on, while Subtract mode needs one.

I think the ability to restrict its action to a selection is an advantage, not to mention it is more consistent with the way all other tools work. Pressing Ctrl+A is easy, and each tool that wants a selection but gets none reports so in the statusbar, so it's hard to miss.
