Yes, this. Thank you.

If I work with CSV files they are most often not comma-separated but semicolon-separated because of the numbers. An Excel installation localized for decimal comma would not read 'real' CSV files correct.

If csv-to-usv cannot cater for this type of CSV files, it would not be usable in a large part of the world.

Yeah they should add it. The tool is like 20 lines of Rust code. It's a thin wrapper around the csv Rust crate, which does support specifying alternative delimiters.
