If MySQL did not have a TIME type, then I would agree with you.

The problem is that MYSQL does have such a type, and it seems to not be very useful for modern applications.

Maybe you could argue semantically that this is still a “feature” that’s missing. Perhaps. But it seems more like a defect, even if it is documented.

If arrays in Golang could only be 5 elements long (say), I think we would characterize that as a defect, even if it is well documented.
