it's so bizarre! why would they only do it halfway? and import is the least useful direction for them to implement.. how often are you building models outside of Mathematica to solve inside?

I can't use the Gurobi support, sadly, since my Gurobi instance is on another box (where I don't have MMA), and I needed to benchmark against HiGHS, CBC etc.

It's a good point that most people won't be using Mathematica for solving LP and MIP models as it just uses CBC as the backend anyway. I mean you could of course, but I think most folks would just use an API to call CBC more directly outside of Mathematica. I bet they could add this feature easily enough though.
