99% of the time {constructive,destructive}_interference_size is used as a parameter to alignas, which necessarily takes a constant value. It would simply replace a lot of const size_t cache_size = 64 from user code making it slightly moreportable. Having a runtime value can be sometimes useful but it is beyond the scope of the feature.

C++11 std::atomic had similar scope creep where it had atomic::is_lock_free as a runtime parameter. Nobody ever used it as is simply not something you care at runtime. So C++17 added is_always_lock_free as a compile time query which can be actually actionable.
