Aside from the OP, and a few others, no one is clamoring for this feature. Hence, the wasted time on this. There has to be great demand for it. Would you want to have dev time and resources on something that clearly isn't going to be used that much, just to please a few players?

Yes, because wanting everyone to conform to my very specific tastes is a good thing to have the devs spend their time to implement, at the cost of something actually useful. /shrug
