Why isn't the original estimate field surfaced when I create a subtask?

Xenia Chilkowich

I want users to be able to quickly create subtasks and enter the critical data as they create. Then I found this...The SCS project is a team-managed (next-gen) project. In this project type, Jira has a specific design limitation: The system "Original Estimate" field is intentionally excluded from the "Create" screen.

Why would you intentionally exclude such an important field from the create screen and give me no option to add it back? This makes zero sense and once again I find myself confounded by the extreme limitations of team managed projects and Rovo telling me to move my project to company managed which is not an option. What is the point of team managed project if I can't actually manage them?
