The issue is not testing the patch, it's demonstrating that there's a
need for it in the first place.

That has been the policy forever, we only implement things that are
actually used by a real application. There are tons of things in the
Windows API that are used only internally, or no longer relevant, or
simply never used at all. Adding them only increases our workload for
no benefit.
