ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Christopher Yeleighton 2020-05-13 12:52:19 UTC 
Since it has been decided it is not a user command, it should be moved to libexec.
Comment 2 Christopher Yeleighton 2020-05-13 15:16:03 UTC 
/usr/libexec includes internal binaries that are NOT INTENDED TO BE EXECUTED directly by users or shell scripts. Applications may use a single subdirectory under /usr/libexec.

Applications which use /usr/libexec in this way MUST NOT also use /usr/lib to store internal binaries, though they may use /usr/lib for the other purposes documented here.

Would you reconsider it as a feature request?

No. No bikeshedding, please. This saves no kitties and makes nobody happy.

Manual page validation scripts may fail on a non-user-executable command installed in /usr/bin.  So you have one hypothetical kitty (and my actual motivation for reporting this).  Another solution would be to remove the manual page, but this would help genuinely nobody.
