Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

This example needs to stay.  It was one of the principal motiviating use cases for defaultdict and it is a good, simple, understandable example of how to use it.

Also, I don't want to cross-link these two tools because they a subtly different (the default dict approach inserts a zero for missing elements while the Counter approach returns zero but does not insert it).
