I have no qualms with it being an officially supported plugin, however:

1. I assumed from Jeff’s comment above he supports this feature in core.
2. The plugin has known issues - including for the specific use case (topnav) that I’m looking to have supported.
3. Plugins are more complicated for sysadmins to handle. They require ssh access to the server, are updated independently, break more frequently than core (less tests), and are a sticky subject for hosting (which plugins go for which plans).
