The thing is, adding stuff to core is not free - it means the community

not feasible (or desirable) to have all extensions in core, and cloud
vendors generally do have ways to support some pre-vetted extensions
that they deem useful enough. Granted, it means vetting/maintenance for
them, but that's kinda the point of managed services. And it'd not be
free for us either.
I agree it's a judgement call. But the code burden here seems pretty small, far smaller than, say, the SQL/JSON patches. And I think the range of applications that could benefit is quite significant.
