> Imagine how much development time we could save if forms supported DELETE and PUT!

not much; while you need a little (easily reusable) JS code to use and handle responses to other methods, it's such a tiny fraction of the dev effort that goes into web apps that it makes no meaningful difference.

It would be nice if HTML forms supported other methods for completeness, but it wouldn't save all that much real-world development effort.
