So the argument is that the key estimate for whether to include it in the engine is how many users will add the attribute, but not run a static analysis tool. If that number is very low, adding it to the engine has a very low value.
As mentioned in my "sibling email": I would not underestimate the "advertising" power of having something included in the language and thus by extension being included in the PHP documentation and naturally seeping into various tutorials.
The fact that I came across Java's @Override annotation as part of my university studies that really did not focus on "Java" per se, but rather "programming in general" likely indicates that having something universally available helps its adoption by be general public.
