If Blizzard actually used their own code in their own UI they might be more interested in making all the Secure* features work well and have enough functionality to implement a true alternative to Blizzard's UI. Sadly Blizzard just gets to cheat and never worry about whether their new features and UI designs work with secure frames and headers.

It took them more than a year to add ranged weapon enchants to the secure aura headers after they were added to the game. No-one at Blizzard even knew it was broken, because nobody there uses the code they wrote. And not many people reported it because nobody outside Blizzard uses secure aura frames either, due to the fact that it never supported filtering or sorting or anything a real aura addon would need.

And all this because a few druids in tree form were auto-cancelling their tree aura when a warlock tried to banish them. Hey, maybe now that treeform doesn't exist we can get aura cancelling unprotected and do away with the entire secure aura header system? Somehow I don't see it happening any time soon though. Unless Blizzard had to use their own code anyway, in which case it would have happened five years ago.
