It’s funny, it’s actually issue number 5 in the julia github, so lots of history. I am guessing, but in addition to it being difficult to pick a solution, it’s probably because once they pick a solution, they can’t take it back and they wanted that flexibility. And as time went on ad hoc solutions and SimpleTraits became popular, and the calculus becomes how much they want to disrupt the current code to the potential benefits of the solution.
