I'm also upset that a mainstream tool doesn't support a niche feature.

(Mostly because I have to use certain tools at work because corporate bullshit and get annoyed when I'm reminded that the way I'm used to doing things doesn't work here)

But if I was developing a tool for a certain audience, I would also prioritise the needs and habits of that aufience. And if that means leaving out regex because laypeople will only shoot themselves in the foot... I'll bitch and moan and cry but ultimately comply.

There's a difference between focussing on laypeople and working against power users. It shouldn't be an either/or thing
