I think that is most because a company with real paying clients (some very big) with a very expensive product, can't seem able to ship a simple but essential feature as this one. The wow factor here is mind blowing.

Comparing with Mozilla for instance, is a really long shot.

I would counter if the bug has been there for 10 years, and they still have plenty paying customers, it is hardly an "essential feature"

Until you need it. May not be essential, more like, obviously expected kind of feature that breaks the web experience and is highly annoying.

Essential for a few people, probably not the masses! I have used JIRA in team both large and small for around 7 years now and none of us have ever needed this functionality!

Any reason why you cant simply paste a non-clickable link in to what you need?

Or create a plugin to support what you need if it isn't in the core
