You make a difference, we don't: for us it has the same annoyance
level as well as functional solution for those needing it
desperately nevertheless (and sufficiently convenient once it works).

You're mistaken, because for us it has.
You want a more convenient solution for what is already possible as
it is now. The same is for all the other given examples: they
_could_ be more convenient, but need not be for either there are
better external tools for it (news, mailcap conversion, ...) or some
muttrc construct works well enough.
Not all that is popular in numbers in business means good in general
to make it convenient to use with mutt, see TOFU (which is range in
the same level as return-receipt for me: exceptionally necessary,
but not generally desired, same with HTML).
