Indeed. Not to bag on WP core devs, but I had the same experience. In my case it was regarding “editable areas” way back around 2012. It was so limiting to only just have the one TinyMCE area, but I was firmly told that is “plugin territory”. And there had been others asking for the same thing.

Of course many years later we now have the Block Editor, which is really starting to come together, but WP I think has been behind the competition because they aren’t listening to the community as well as they should.
