It takes literally 5 minutes to write a python script that does this.
It took a long time to get this adopted because people are most likely busy with things that cannot be already solved trivially.

I think it's nice that this will soon be possible to do without adding Python as a dependency in your build system
> trivially
The article covers quite a few reasons why the way things are done without #embed are not quite as trivial as they seem.
I've been doing it for 20 years without any single issue, on fairly large files.
This proposal doesn't even allow to compress or encrypt the data.
And yet the issues in the article are real and non-trivial. Perhaps you just never hit them, or you have a high tolerance for non-trivial solutions.
