The same reason any bug isn't fixed or feature isn't implemented: because the
developers are spending their time fixing things deemed to be of higher urgency
(for example, making clipboard functionality and pasting work on Wayland).

I'm starting to feel like a broken record here. It's understandable that folks
are frustrated, but asking "why isn't this fixed yet?" won't make it happen
faster. Instead, it will demoralize and de-motivate the developers who happen
to be CCs on this bug report who don't have an extremely thick skin and make it
*less* likely that they will want to work on it, not more. The more comments
and arguing are in a bug report, the more demoralized the average person
becomes when reading through it--this includes any developers who feel like
fixing the issue.

So complaining in the bug report is not generally an effective approach. If you
want to see the issue get resolved faster, the options that work include:
- Working on it yourself
- Finding a technically competent friend or colleague to work on it for you
- Writing a polite blog or social media post about it to draw attention to the
issue and find someone to work on it
- Paying a developer to work on it
