Because it's not deemed a really urgent, or even wanted, feature, obviously.
The majority of users/developers has a separate firewall and then "download
queing" is just a matter of doing it on the inside interface. Most of the
previous questions about "download queuing" has been from people who didnt
know that you could achieve the this by queuing on the inside interface, not
by people who wanted to shape traffic to services the firewall box itself.
