External implementations may be less efficient, as they cannot take advantage of the internal implementation details that a better integrated solution would offer. This isn't something I am willing to go to war on, but at the same time, I'm willing to expend some effort to lobby for inclusion. Either way, I will have the necessary infrastructure to accomplish my aims, though my goal is for everyone to have it without re-inventing the wheel. Silence on this topic benefits nobody.
