That was not the design goal of FDP. It is ludicrous for any storage
technology to have that as an intentional design choice.

The value does not come from the temperature-sensitive names that we
have in Linux. It rather comes from keeping the WAF low and from using
Linux file-sytems. The write-hint interface, despite not being ideal,
happens to be the only interface we got for the latter.
If/when anything different grows in the device-side, we can trivially
change the plumbing this patch does.
People need support for what we have in current spec and more
importantly in products. It's not a Meta/Samsung only thing. Many
hypsercalers and enterprise customers need this.
