Isn't that the beauty of open source? That we are empowered to make tools that fit our needs and the needs of our users?
I don't see why open source tools should be intentionally crippled in the name of some sort of "purity". Implementing this feature costs nothing (it is an open standard, unencumbered by licenses or patents), and you can continue to use the tool as if the vendor-specific option doesn't exist.

Adding this feature adds friction to refactoring the code, adds surface area for vulnerabilities (and the user ignoring it won't make that go away), and makes the binary bigger. The cost/benefit ratio might well be favorable, but implementing this feature absolutely costs something.
