Hello!

It is one of the things that made me propose this idea back in
September :-)

You're working with a very flawed definition of the concept
"free". Sure, if all implementations everywhere add the same
fancy feature, we can use that feature for "free" from that point
in time onwards. Well, free aside from maintenance and bugfix
costs... But getting there is expensive and I don't actually see
consensus that we're moving in that direction. I'm not a fan, but
I'll refrain from derailing this thread to pontificate on why.

This approach works right now. It will still work even after
people have started generating from specified seeds. And the cost
is sunk, the work has been done.

It would be a shame if people decided not to collaborate in this
way, because they're waiting for the Next Big Thing to land.
