Why isn't there an option for default dates in date filters?

[OneWithQuestion]

It has been over 7 years since this has been requested.  It has been requested over and over, thousands and thousands of users have voted for it.

Relative date slider is not useful because it prevents users from selecting DIFFERENT dates the way you can with a standard date drop down.

Seeing today's date or last 3 days or month is great but then the user can't go and select specific dates the way they can with a drop down list.

Why doesn't the filter support a default value using the relative date options but keeping the standard filter interface?

Why is the PBI dev team unwilling to provide this exceedingly basic feature?

@OneWithQuestion,

I was reading through the comments in the ideas link you provided, and saw that the third-party slicer below provides this feature:
