Well, 99.999 percent of users don't want or need
a PL/1 compiler, but I don't think that is a good
reason for saying that they can't have one.

Likewise, while getting GMT (even though GMT doesn't
exist anymore) or UT1 or proper treatment of leap seconds
isn't necessary for 99.999 percent of users, I don't
see that as a reason for saying they can't have it.
