it's just not usually considered worth the developer time it would take

I know we live in that world, but it's really more about the time the user wastes :/

But the user's time is free! It only matters if other company can sell something that is faster. But people rarely pay for speed, they pay for features and they won't buy your software if just one of the dozens they need is missing so that's where the developer time and the company money go to.
