I'm not sure if everyone needs this function.
You can also add other files to the KNX project in the ETS, but how often is this really done?
When you realise large projects where, for example, several W4K / LM are installed, you need a different type of documentation anyway.
Basically, I also believe that important features should be integrated natively.
But I think an app in the Appstore counts as integrated natively.
All the newer developments are being developed as separate apps (Bacnet Client, KNX Hybrid, HomeKit, etc.) so I can install exactly what I need in the project and don't have a huge firmware.

Next to that would a low level functionality be used automatically and finally solve a much seen issue of missing programming files on projects where integrators or installers are disappeared in thin air…
Especially now KNX secure is growing you don’t want to face an installation where the files are missing..
This function could be a simple as importing your .knxproj into the controller and it is saved automatically as original on the FTP and when you create a backup you download it and at the same time its stored on the FTP, then you always have a copy of the original used .knxproj file, can't imagine it's hard to implement such feature where you just have to click a checkbox during those actions by selecting "store copy locally"...
