So the supposed reasoning is "let someone else do it"? You should take advantage of what you can do with a platform, true, but leaving something out specifically for modders to add it is just lazy. And mods aren't something that can be done on consoles (not for free, anyhow) because of the amount of control Sony and Microsoft has over their platforms. Just because consoles have it bad doesn't mean that PCs, who aren't bound by the same ridiculous restrictions, should have to when it's easily avoided.

Besides, thanks to said mod community, we already have unnecessary voice commands (ThuuMic). So that's a no-go for the trade :P

My point is, basic functionality shouldn't be left out and then justified by the availability of mods. It's still something that should have been there from the start.
