Not really from a usage perspective though, and resources often don't matter.
If you're doing something like this in the background, then that usually means it takes a "long" time (or you'd just wait for it). So the overhead of starting an additional shell simply isn't important.
Not that it's always irrelevant, but that's why the issues are still open.
