Ever shoot a 150mm macro lens at f/2.8 at minimum focusing distance ? Most of your image will be out if focus. You need to read up on depth if field before making such ill informed statements.

As a matter of fact, I have shot original EF100mm f/2.8 and later the Hybrid IS version for a total of 10 years. It is comment from rpm40 that answered it for me "Both f1.8 and "macro" mode have their benefits individually, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will work great to use them both together." along with the DOF Calculator screenshots from Richard Daugaard that made sense right away.
