The usual reason is that what seems like a basic feature to you is not
necessarily that basic to others.  Which doesn't mean the feature
shouldn't exist, just that others may not assign the same importance
to it, and thus didn't implement it yet.

As usual, this has a down-side: too many keys make them harder to
remember.
