Prioritization probably.
They are busy keeping up with engineering teams 4x their size for their browser competition.... (~500 engineers building Firefox vs ~2000 building chrome)
Of a million potential features, you can only choose a subset to work on. This one was likely low impact and a low enough use case priority that it got regularly bumped under higher priority work.
This is just the way... Well... Anything with limited resources works.
Happy they finally got around for this.
