It doesn’t matter if it’s over or underrated - what matters is if you want to be compatible with existing code and documentation.

I wish C didn’t have strtok, but it’s too late.

I don't specifically want to be compatible with it, no. I mean if ripgrep works for my needs - I'll use it and won't worry if it's POSIX compatible or not.

Great. But we don’t need it in base.

That's what I don't necessarily agree with.
