Because they have to work 100% like the original tools otherwise. I will not write compatibility checks for the -rs set in my scripts and likely nobody else too. Even POSIX compatibility is often already expected too much.
Why so they have to work 100% like the original tools? Why can't it overlap and add more? Why can't it remove features that are confusing or a security liability?
