Like I wrote in the original comment, borg's additional functionality is that it supports both CACHEDIR.TAG and any other filename if that is what user wants.
As I wrote in the previous comment, you can do that in restic with the "--exclude-if-present" option where you can specify whatever filename you want as well as optionally some content it must start with to avoid false positives.

Now I finally get it, thank you :). So Borg and Restic are basically on par considering that feature after all!
--exclude-if-present "CACHEDIR.TAG:Signature: 8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55"
You can specify the tag filename, and optionally append ":initial content" (the tag file must start with this content to avoid false tagfile matches).
