There is no nefarious reason why some parameter type were not exposed. The main reason we decided not to expose every single parameter type was that during the development process it was becoming clear that there was just going to be way too many parameter types in the menu for any sort of legibility… so I think we decided to only expose the ones that would be used the most often for clarity sake. We can obviously expose more of them if you think there are certain ones that would be useful on the toolbar ribbon but we’d also like to strike a balance of legibility.
