That's incorrect. You are asking for a category that does not exist in other
spreadsheet tools. The "duration" formats _are_ supported, but they are not
arranged in their own "Duration" category.

As for listing every single combination of Format codes, that would make the
lists extremely long, and thus not useful. There are many different formats
that are supported but not included in the default predefined list. The same
goes for every other spreadsheet tool. Having all variants included would make
the lists unmanageable.

As for presenting decimal hours or decimal minutes, that's a calculated value.
Date and Time (and duration) formats are included in order to facilitate the
introduction of values and their interpretation by users. Any format that is
not typical is not "translated" automatically to be displayed, so it remains as
a calculation-only. In contrast, decimal seconds is included as display format,
because it _is_ a typical format already used by users "as-is".
