If you're not interested in this behavior, you'll never use it. But
there are cases where it can be very convenient. Why artificially
restrict functionality that is simple, doesn't conflict with anything,
and has no negative side effects?

Then figure out how to do it on all the OSes we support and propose a patch.  Maybe it’s simple enough to include.  Maybe not.  If it is simple e on an OS one cares about a shell script around pg_ctl is a simple way to leverage it so it’s still a fairly low priority to add into core.
