One doesn't loose much users that way. People that are so easily turned off,
will always find something else, or don't really need it.
Note also that such users typically don't know how to run shellscripts in
the first place.

Well, you are right somewhat. Delphi has a separate VCL and a debug vcl for
this purpose. However the core maintainers are a bit busy, so we would need
extra resources for that.
Maybe you should make a design document detailing how to do this, and most
importantly, inventorise
- the problems of having multiple LCLs in an eco
system where the IDE is also using the LCL,
- directory structure
- distribution size (another such eternal size problem). Maybe an
autobuilder (only distribute source?), another project, another document
- how to configure in the IDE.
- what should be default,
- how to get backtraces (lineinfo) without full debuginfo, do we need a
third type?
etc etc.
I'm sure if you spend some time on it, you can really do good here.
