Probably because output to log was easier than reworking the internals to
make output to client happen.

If you are interested in working on a patch to address your use case I say
go for it.  Designing the inputs and outputs actually doesn't seem that
challenging, if exceptionally vulnerable to bike-shedding.  But I imagine
the internals are quite a different matter.
