Why doesn't Onshape have a Update All Contexts Option?

I'm lovin' in context design with Onshape but the I miss the magic of seeing your whole design well.....all update!
...so why doesn't Onshape have a Update All Contexts Option?
Is it a feature in the works?
Is it a performance issue?
Is it not enough demand?
Does it contradict some Onshape design methodology?
"Update All Contexts" is on by default in Solidworks and you can to update a single component or all the components in Fusion 360.
We primarily use the in context feature with a master sketch method to drive part or subassembly geometry. Once you have done all the work to set up master sketch the last thing you what to do is update each part one by one. Here is a link to a demo video of this workflow:

The idea of improvement request section here in the forum is not to publish the backlog of improvements but to give a way to have users publicly submit improvements and save the time writing up individual tickets.

Thank you for your reply.
Just curious....What does 7 votes mean for a 3 year old improvement request?
Doesn't sound like there is much demand or I am not using the Onshape in the best way for this workflow.
