Given a task, engineers focus on performing it efficiently, but they are not always at liberty to work on a different task just because it can be performed more efficiently. (Forced labor >16 hours a day is an efficient way use a fixed amount of people to perform some tasks, but we are not building labor camps just because it is efficient.) In this case, "blinking cursor" is a requirement of some users, not an internal detail of the implementation that can be changed at will if it improves efficiency.
