Why is WordPress so against :hover styles in block themes?

I've recently transitioned from hybrid themes to developing custom block themes and one thing I've run into is how there is next to no support for :hover styles for elements in the block editor. I understand we are in a mobile first world but this just seems like a crazy omission to me. Adding :hover styles for core blocks like button in theme.json is unnecessarily complicated.

Does anyone think we are going to see this corrected in future versions of the block editor and WP?

The block editor and block themes are so infuriating, some things make so much sense and are a real time saver but then if you 'go against the grain' things become quite tedious.
