Nothing is farther from the truth.  Emacs does have solutions for
this, and they include those you applaud, but have also superior parts
and aspects.  They are just not the solutions you consider to be the
only ones worth having.  We also have infrastructure that can be
easily extended to provide more automatic detection of the suspicious
segments of text, if we want that.

So I can only conclude that you don't understand the issues well
enough to judge what is or isn't a good solution for them.  Which
isn't surprising: this stuff is very complex and takes years to wrap
the head around it.
