Subject: Change WAL directory via conf

Is there a reason why the location of the WAL directory cannot be specified via the configuration?
The documentation describes a workaround using a symbolic link, which I find rather awkward:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/wal-internals.html

Why is there no wal_directory analogous to data_directory?
