The tricky part is that what some users think of as a must-have trivial-feature, others won't care about at all. Thus getting every trivial-feature for every user becomes a herculean task. (The standard "each user only needs 10% of a program's features... but they all need a /different/ 10%".)
For instance: I don't care about seeing my current cursor coordinates when using an image editor. I probably have some other must-have tiny feature that the author here wouldn't even notice.
The author was looking for a vector illustration app, not a photo editor. Vector graphics apps are often used to create diagrams and other semi-technical drawings that require some CAD-like features, the simplest of which is a usable coordinate system.
