It's because nobody wants to spend their time peering over DWARF info and then writing plugins for GDB, WinDBG and LLDB (or even just one of them!). IMO, they should have a system where the whole community gets to vote on one tooling/bug proposal every so often, and then the DLF has to work on that alongside whatever else they do.
It is not how things working :)
And even for big-corp langs
