Anyone else want Tugarin to be permanently playable?

I want to petition Hoyoverse to make Tugarin permanently playable. Maybe make him equipable like Sorush, where you can use him to scout areas up ahead. Mostly just for fun, rather than for any serious in-game utility. He’s just so cute and I want to keep being able to play as him outside of that tiny segment in the main quest! They’ve already programmed him to be playable, so why not?
