They already have the feature implemented, in their paid Enterprise Edition. Why would they accept an outside contribution for code they've already written? If they want it in the community edition, they'd just add their own implementation, and then not have two different implementations of the same feature to maintain. That sounds exactly like "not fitting into the architecture".

Regardless, they are not obligated to accept any contribution that they don't want, for whatever reason, even if that reason is "profit" and "business model".
