Good question! The reason they should is to ensure that their product is as
usable as possible and works well. Of course, the new tabbing features are
things they have not had a chance to work with much, but presumably over
time they will make sure they work better on the newer Mac systems.

I was going to submit a bug report on it but I see someone beat me to that:

<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106538>

You can see the response from the developers:
    -----
    Ugh, that looks wrong indeed. Thanks for your report.
    -----

So, thankfully, the LO team is aware of it and understand it is wrong. They
will likely fix it relatively quickly. One of the good things about open
source software is you often can not only submit such bugs but see if the
development team is taking the issue seriously.

I prefer developers who work to handle things above the lowest common
denominator of environments, but if that is what you are interested in then
you can focus there. To each their own.

You make invalid assumptions which make your question meaningless.

Why would you want LibreOffice on Linux to be limited to what is available
on Windows and Mac? I find it a hard thing to understand.

So you jumped in just to get attention. OK. Well, I have given you some and
I hope it brought you the joy you were looking for.
