> Why aren’t things this way?

They...are. With proper extensions, for example, VSCode does many of those things, and can switch which of the supported things it is doing, on top of also doing syntax highlighting, and some of the changes are automatic and context-driven.

And while VSCode is my current daily driver, that's been true of code editors for quite some time.
