It could just be that they are still working on implementing this in a future update, maybe a minor update to Ventura. I would imagine the software engineering team has its hands full every summer with more important things like readying major new versions of all of their platforms.

They said "over the the next year" in November 2020. It's now June 2022. It should have been in Monterey, which shipped October 25, 2021.

Does everything always go to plan in your workplace? No one has a crystal ball and sometimes priorities get rearranged after the fact.
Except it wasn't just a private plan: Apple made a public written statement about the timeline, in response to a disaster (the Mac "appocalypse") and the resulting public criticism. So this should have been a very high priority.
I’m confused. Did they announce they’re not going to do it?
How much work could it possibly be to add one setting and a corresponding if statement?

Priority as dictated by business needs rather than raw work effort is usually what determines when things get done. At least on my team.

Security and privacy isn't a priority. Got it.
