People should be free to do whatever stupid thing they want to do, but doing this just complicates the experience for everyone and further it just doesn't make sense.
Clients would have to add code (=bugs) to handle this, UI would have to be redone to make this reasonable, it fractions the network into multiple pieces that will be harder to keep in sync, protocol becomes more complex to implement. Even if you are Monero or whatever supporter you should be able to see how this would hurt a lot of people and make the overall progress slower.
If you need the other coins for whatever reason then your wallet can do the swapping. Like Blink wallet allows you to swap sats for "stable" balance in the wallet. I bet Monero wallets do the same. If that's possible and easy then there are no reasons to update the whole stack just to add couple of these coins.
