Id go ahead and open a feature request for it on their github. Id be supprised if they wernt open towards the idea given they run one of the largest instances themselves
The problem is that people a) hate paying for online content and b) hate ads.
Generally people feel so entitled to free services online that it’s like they don’t understand that it takes money to run the services. Voluntary donations just don’t tend to work very well, and paywalls will have neckbeards sputtering their Mt. Dew all over themselves

Because they’d probably have to create that tech themselves. Not that they won’t but it’s not there ATM afaik
