Is there a counterargument as to why it "shouldn't"?  I.e., perhaps
<someone> intended it for use in a type of application where this
would be counterproductive?  Though one can argue for a configurable
option -- perhaps even "client/account specific"!  (Having a *core*
RDBMS service running in an OS should be a key requirement for any
OS "heavy" enough to support it!  Shame that this hasn't been the
case to date!)

Yup... the beauty of FOSS is that it lets *you* break the code
in whichever way(s) you see fit!  :<

G'luck!
