I totally agree with that. It's really rather fundamental.

I rather suspect there's some nasty under the surface that makes it very difficult ... perhaps backward compatibility issues?

I do wonder if it's tied in with the rather limited handling generally of time signatures. I appreciate that there are some weird ones around(*), but 5/4 and 12/8 are pretty common and 7/8 is not exactly rare.

(*)My wife wanted to sing with the band and wanted "Light Flight" as done by Pentangle. No worries ... the verses are in 5/4+5/4+2/4 and the chorus in 6/4.

Even Pentangle admitted they'd never worked out how to count it in properly :-)
