That is not what GIMP is doing. It tells you that it can't save to that
format without modifying the image beforehand. And quite often it needs
to ask you what to do because there are several possibilities.
But it does not modify the image I am working on, it converts the image into a save result that I never see in gimp. Neither will I expect it to alter my image If I initiate my action with export.
 
If you knew about the limitations of the file format you are saving to,
then you had converted the image beforehand and you wouldn't see the
Export dialog at all.
Why would I convert it beforehand? Why would a user need to do a bunch of actions that serve no purpose, are mostly 100% automatic and even hinder when I want to follow the export action up with a native save?
