Why isn't ComfyUI willing to add an automatic queue save & restore (after crash) ?

Help Needed

On multiple occasions I have lost a big list of queued prompts due to an unexpected crash. I tried some manual custom node to automatically backup and restore prompts, but it's outdated and broken. I see someone even submitted a simple code for this on the official github page in 2023, but it wasn't implemented. Why not?

https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI/pull/1977/commits/3d7b266ca235f13f528f1864116ea13710cf49d9

This could save people a lot of lost time without the hassle of custom nodes that break over time and it's far more useful feature than some random UI bells and whistles that most people never use. And it shouldn't even be complicated or time consuming for them to add.

I am now working with ChatGPT to vibecode my own solution that will of course break with each new update.

Am I really the only one who has any use for this? I have a fairly stable setup, but occasionally mistakes happen (once I ran out of sufficient space on the drive with pagefile and it resulted in BSOD, today I was using some other apps on the computer that must've pushed the GPU too far and the GPU reset stopped ComfyUI).
