The boulders making quarryman marginally easier shouldn't be a consideration when it's a credo you can do in less of a day, and the boulders make mining more tedious and unfun for the entire year+ long world.
Area select mining was copied from custom clients into the base game because /everybody/ wanted it more than the single tile select mining, to the degree even Jorbtar decided it was a good idea. Now, we're back at the beginning of the circular development progression where Jorbtar has broken area select mining, the client devs remade it, and in a year Jorbtar will have enough complaints that they will make area select mining chip the boulders and continue mining. Nullifying the entire boulder update, without technically removing it. Bloat.
It's such a boldfaced waste of everybody's time for Loftar to have to add these, then client devs have to make a hacky workaround, then the plebs cry until Loftar "fixes" it, when the initial concept is something nobody who mines would ever ask for. It's not even that big of a deal in and of itself, it's just so silly that this kind of thing happens so regularly with haven
