Making it a prod ready feature would take weeks, a pile of money, and dozens of staff who may object and are in a position to do something about it.

Making a single use extension takes an hour or three by a contractor who won't object. Its trivial enough that the whole thing could be built using a bottom of the barrel freelancer site with a high success rate.
